Intro
D#m
You've buried me here
Fm D#m
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
Fm D#m
You've hidden the keys to sleep
Fm D#m
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
Fm
And now we never can go back
[Verse 1]
D#m G#
This is what I felt, just being myself
C# A#m A#m7
But I know that you wouldn't stay
D#m G#
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
C# A#m A#m7
As you drove and made your escape
D#m G#
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would
A#m
And I'm left watching...
[Chorus 1]
C# F#
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
A#m D#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
D#m Fm
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back
[Verse 2]
D#m G# C# A#m
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best
D#m G# C# A#m
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense
D#m G#
You swore this was right
A#m
It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...
[Chorus 2]
C# F#
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
A#m D#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
C# F#
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye
A#m
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
D#m
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you
[Bridge 1]
D#m Fm D#m
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
Fm D#m
My foundation crippled and cracked
Fm D#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Fm D#m
Two people dissolve into words
Fm D#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Fm D#m
Two people dissolve into words
[Chorus 3]
C# F#
Red lights fading out
A#m D#m
As you drive back to your house
[Bridge 2]
D#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
Fm
Before but now I'm left behind
C# F#
So make all of this make sense
D#m
And now your voice is haunting me
Fm
Just out of reach it buries me
C# F#
Is this the better off that you meant?
[Bridge 3]
D#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
Fm
Before but now I'm left behind
C# F#
So make all of this make sense
D#m
And now your voice is haunting me
Fm
Just out of reach it buries me
It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
[Outro]
D#m Fm D#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
D#m Fm D#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
D#m Fm D#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
D#m Fm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
