[Verse]
F
I'm not a kid anymore
F
Well I wasn't before
C#maj7 A#m
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
F
My house was empty, no walls
F
The ceilings endlessly tall
C#maj7 A#m
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
F
And they'd say
D#
They'd come back for me one day
C#maj7 D#
And they told me it was gonna be okay
F
And they'd lie
D#
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
C#maj7 D#
And they told me I had time to stay a child
F
For a while
F
I'd make a breakfast for two
F
Pretend to give it to you
C#maj7 A#m
My imaginary friend I never knew
F
A# friendly face in the morning
F
Would often serve as a warning
C#maj7 A#m
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
F
And they'd say
D#
They'd come back for me one day
C#maj7 D#
And they told me it was gonna be okay
F
And they'd lie
D#
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
C#maj7 D#
And they told me I had time to stay a child
C#maj7 F
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
C#maj7 F
Hoping someday I might find
C A#
Something to believe in
Am G
The stars would help with grieving
F
So I'd stay
D#
In my castle locked away
C#maj7 D#
A# prisoner for the remainder of my days
F
But at night
D#
When the moon was shining bright
C#maj7 D#
I told myself there was something just out of sight
F
Out of sight
