Verse 1:
B A B
It’s kinda sad that I have learned

to deal with things like this

Being strong means being heartless
E
Tell me how do the scars
feel after the wounds heal?
F#m

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

When you’re gone I won’t miss you

I’m sorry that’s just the way

I’ve learned to deal
with a broken heart

Verse 2:
E
It’s been a long time since I’ve
F#m
seen you and longer since we’ve talked
And the last thing that

I said was I had nothing to say
Now I’m choking on my words
A
All the things I didn’t say
that could have made it all ok
Refrain 2:
B
Now that you’re all alone
and feeling sorry for yourself

and deceive me like you did?
