Verse 1:

It’s kinda sad that I have learned

Being strong means being heartless
A
Tell me how do the scars
feel after the wounds heal?

were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still
shine as bright as
D
they did the days when
you were at your best?
Refrain:
C#m D E
If you run away from me
F#m D E
I’m not running after you
(Cause I’m so tired)
C#m D E
If you turn away from
F#m D E
this don’t look back
(Cause I’ll be gone)
Chorus:
A
If you go then I'll forget you
E
When you’re gone I won’t miss you

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

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

Did it make sense to lie to me

and deceive me like you did?
