Intro
A# F A# F
[Verse]
A#
I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
F
Eating away at you from time to time
A# F
I know I’m absent from your life and mind but you still haunt mine
[Verse]
Gm F
There’s a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
D# A#
And I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re not coming back
Gm F
There’s a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
D# A# D#
You’re the reason why the alcohol is still rotting in my veins
[Chorus]
Gm A#
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
D# Gm A#
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Verse]
A# F
I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see and when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
A# F
I hope you buckle at your knees and think of me
[Verse]
Gm
I’ll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
F
These heavy words I know you can’t lift
A#
(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
Gm F
The chemicals have balanced as I’m writing off your name
A# D#
I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain
[Chorus]
Gm A#
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
D# Gm A#
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Bridge]
D#
Truth be told we are not the same
F
G future sold that was built on blame
Gm
I pray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
A#
I’ll stay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
D#
Day in day out it won’t get better
F
Even your friends say forever fair-weather
Gm A# D#
Stay stuck. You’re a stormy sky with an idle mind you deserve each other
[Outro]
F Gm
And I’ve been picking you apart in my head
D# F Gm
Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping
I’m empty handed once again
A# D# A#
Constant consent. You lied to him about the time we spent.
D# Gm
Relapse. Repent. Your judgement lapse came and went.
A#
You said that life was built on compromise
D#
G statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
Gm A#
So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine.
