Intro
Dm
You've buried me here
Em Dm
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
Em Dm
You've hidden the keys to sleep
Em Dm
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
Em
And now we never can go back
[Verse 1]
Dm G
This is what I felt, just being myself
C Am Am7
But I know that you wouldn't stay
Dm G
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
C Am Am7
As you drove and made your escape
Dm G
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would
Am
And I'm left watching...
[Chorus 1]
C F
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
Am Dm
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
Dm Em
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back
[Verse 2]
Dm G C Am
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best
Dm G C Am
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense
Dm G
You swore this was right
Am
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)
Am Dm
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
Am
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
Dm
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you
[Bridge 1]
Dm Em Dm
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
Em Dm
My foundation crippled and cracked
Em Dm
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Em Dm
Two people dissolve into words
Em Dm
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Em Dm
Two people dissolve into words
[Chorus 3]
C F
Red lights fading out
Am Dm
As you drive back to your house
[Bridge 2]
Dm
The way I've gone a hundred times
Em
Before but now I'm left behind
C F
So make all of this make sense
Dm
And now your voice is haunting me
Em
Just out of reach it buries me
C F
Is this the better off that you meant?
[Bridge 3]
Dm
The way I've gone a hundred times
Em
Before but now I'm left behind
C F
So make all of this make sense
Dm
And now your voice is haunting me
Em
Just out of reach it buries me
It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
[Outro]
Dm Em Dm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Dm Em Dm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Dm Em Dm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Dm Em
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
