[Verse]
C#
I'm not a kid anymore
C#
Well I wasn't before
Amaj7 F#m
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
C#
My house was empty, no walls
C#
The ceilings endlessly tall
Amaj7 F#m
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
C#
And they'd say
B
They'd come back for me one day
Amaj7 B
And they told me it was gonna be okay
C#
And they'd lie
B
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Amaj7 B
And they told me I had time to stay a child
C#
For a while
C#
I'd make a breakfast for two
C#
Pretend to give it to you
Amaj7 F#m
My imaginary friend I never knew
C#
F# friendly face in the morning
C#
Would often serve as a warning
Amaj7 F#m
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
C#
And they'd say
B
They'd come back for me one day
Amaj7 B
And they told me it was gonna be okay
C#
And they'd lie
B
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Amaj7 B
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Amaj7 C#
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Amaj7 C#
Hoping someday I might find
G# F#
Something to believe in
Fm D#
The stars would help with grieving
C#
So I'd stay
B
In my castle locked away
Amaj7 B
F# prisoner for the remainder of my days
C#
But at night
B
When the moon was shining bright
Amaj7 B
I told myself there was something just out of sight
C#
Out of sight
