[Verse]
D#
I'm not a kid anymore
D#
Well I wasn't before
Bmaj7 G#m
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
D#
My house was empty, no walls
D#
The ceilings endlessly tall
Bmaj7 G#m
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
D#
And they'd say
C#
They'd come back for me one day
Bmaj7 C#
And they told me it was gonna be okay
D#
And they'd lie
C#
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Bmaj7 C#
And they told me I had time to stay a child
D#
For a while
D#
I'd make a breakfast for two
D#
Pretend to give it to you
Bmaj7 G#m
My imaginary friend I never knew
D#
G# friendly face in the morning
D#
Would often serve as a warning
Bmaj7 G#m
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
D#
And they'd say
C#
They'd come back for me one day
Bmaj7 C#
And they told me it was gonna be okay
D#
And they'd lie
C#
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Bmaj7 C#
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Bmaj7 D#
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Bmaj7 D#
Hoping someday I might find
A# G#
Something to believe in
Gm F
The stars would help with grieving
D#
So I'd stay
C#
In my castle locked away
Bmaj7 C#
G# prisoner for the remainder of my days
D#
But at night
C#
When the moon was shining bright
Bmaj7 C#
I told myself there was something just out of sight
D#
Out of sight
