[Intro]
F C G Am
F C G Am
[Verse 1]
F C
Knowing what you have, you never think you’d lose it
G Am
Going day by day, I was the one to choose it
F C
I keep myself busy with things to do
G Am
'Cause every time I pause I still think of you
[Verse 2]
F C
Our small pointless conversations mean more than you know
G Am
And every fight and struggle flies out the window
F C
Missing you comes in waves, at night I’m drowning
G Am
There's an ocean in my heart and my mind’s forever frowning
[Chorus 1]
F C
Can you tell I haven’t slept from the time we last spoke?
G Am
And that when you say those words I can’t help but choke
F C
Yet when I do sleep I dream you're back by my side
G Am
Then it's ripped apart by the sun; it’s sure to rise
[Verse 3]
F C
My crying is the worst; muffled and silent
G Am
And the thoughts in my head rage fast and violent
F C
I’m reminded of what I did to you
G Am
And the events that made us fall through
[Verse 4]
F C
Now my name brings distaste in your mouth
G Am
And your liking to me is falling south
F C
I don’t mind being hated, but I hate being misunderstood
G Am
You listen to everyone else; I'm spoken of in falsehood
[Chorus 2]
F C
No words could flee my mouth to make you understand
G Am
That I still love you, baby, I still want to hold your hand
F C
I'm not perfect, as you know, and when he came along
G Am
It pulled me out of a shadow, just thought you’d like to know
[Verse 5]
F C
Thinking that he could save me from heartbreak
G Am
I sent your world up in an earthquake, making your hands shake
F C
No compilation of words could undo the broken
G Am
No rhyme nor rhythm could ever be spoken
[Verse 6]
F C
To fix what I did and close what's been opened
G Am
And give you back what I had selfishly stolen
F C
I don’t ask for forgiveness or ask for you back
G Am
I don’t imply that I’m something that you lack
[Chorus 3]
F C
I am here, asking that you see
G Am
You still mean the flipping world to me
F C
Even if a bitch is all I am in your eyes
G Am
My caring for you I cannot disguise
[Outro]
F C
You may think of me as a horrible person
G Am
But I hope and I pray that this won’t make it worsen
F C
I started this song with eyes full of tears
G Am
But end it hoping you can forgive me one of these years
