[Verse]
A
I'm not a kid anymore
A
Well I wasn't before
Fmaj7 Dm
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
A
My house was empty, no walls
A
The ceilings endlessly tall
Fmaj7 Dm
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
A
And they'd say
G
They'd come back for me one day
Fmaj7 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
Fmaj7 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
Fmaj7 Dm
My imaginary friend I never knew
A
D friendly face in the morning
A
Would often serve as a warning
Fmaj7 Dm
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
A
And they'd say
G
They'd come back for me one day
Fmaj7 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
Fmaj7 G
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Fmaj7 A
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Fmaj7 A
Hoping someday I might find
E D
Something to believe in
C#m B
The stars would help with grieving
A
So I'd stay
G
In my castle locked away
Fmaj7 G
D prisoner for the remainder of my days
A
But at night
G
When the moon was shining bright
Fmaj7 G
I told myself there was something just out of sight
A
Out of sight
