Verse 1:
G# F# G#
It’s kinda sad that I have learned
F# G#
to deal with things like this
F# G# F#
Being strong means being heartless
C#
Tell me how do the scars
feel after the wounds heal?
D#m
Did it burn when they cauterized?
A#m
Did it show that you
were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still
shine as bright as
F#
they did the days when
you were at your best?
Refrain:
Fm F# G#
If you run away from me
A#m F# G#
I’m not running after you
(Cause I’m so tired)
Fm F# G#
If you turn away from
A#m F# G#
this don’t look back
(Cause I’ll be gone)
Chorus:
C#
If you go then I'll forget you
G#
When you’re gone I won’t miss you

I’m sorry that’s just the way
F#
I’ve learned to deal
with a broken heart
(Repeat)

And broken promises
G-Am-F#--G-Em-F
Verse 2:
C#
It’s been a long time since I’ve
D#m
seen you and longer since we’ve talked
And the last thing that
A#m
I said was I had nothing to say
Now I’m choking on my words
F#
All the things I didn’t say
that could have made it all ok
Refrain 2:
G#
Now that you’re all alone
and feeling sorry for yourself

Did it make sense to lie to me
G# F#
and deceive me like you did?
