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