Verse
C#
There is a darkness
D#
that sits in the back of your mind.
Fm
We spent our youth creating futures
G#
where we both would have our time.
C#
We were 15, so naive
D#
and blinded by possibilities.
Fm
We used to feel so alive,
G#
what dulled your shine?
[Chorus]
C# D#
But there has got to be a better way
Fm G#
then drowning in this hateful place.
C# D#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
Fm
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
G#
waiting to die.
[Verse]
C# D#
And at the bottom of every bottle
Fm
there is a silence,
G#
where you question
your existence.
C#
Denying the fact that maybe there is
D#
more to life than this.
[Chorus]
C# D#
But there has got to be a better way
Fm G#
then drowning in this hateful place.
C# D#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
Fm
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
G#
waiting to die.
[Bridge]
C# D#
And now the world
Fm
will never know
G#
the brother that I’ve
grown to love.
C#
And I blame myself
D#
cause I didn’t realize,
Fm
The sadness that consumed
G#
was always hidden by your smile.
C# D# Fm
February 11th, the darkest day.
G#
I hope your soul will rest easy,
and you’re no longer in pain.
[Chorus]
C# D#
But there has got to be a better way
Fm G#
then drowning in this hateful place.
C# D#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
Fm
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
G#
waiting to die.
