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