Intro
A#m
You've buried me here
Cm A#m
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
Cm A#m
You've hidden the keys to sleep
Cm A#m
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
Cm
And now we never can go back
[Verse 1]
A#m D#
This is what I felt, just being myself
G# Fm Fm7
But I know that you wouldn't stay
A#m D#
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
G# Fm Fm7
As you drove and made your escape
A#m D#
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would
Fm
And I'm left watching...
[Chorus 1]
G# C#
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
Fm A#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
A#m Cm
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back
[Verse 2]
A#m D# G# Fm
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best
A#m D# G# Fm
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense
A#m D#
You swore this was right
Fm
It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...
[Chorus 2]
G# C#
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
Fm A#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
G# C#
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye
Fm
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
A#m
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you
[Bridge 1]
A#m Cm A#m
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
Cm A#m
My foundation crippled and cracked
Cm A#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Cm A#m
Two people dissolve into words
Cm A#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Cm A#m
Two people dissolve into words
[Chorus 3]
G# C#
Red lights fading out
Fm A#m
As you drive back to your house
[Bridge 2]
A#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
Cm
Before but now I'm left behind
G# C#
So make all of this make sense
A#m
And now your voice is haunting me
Cm
Just out of reach it buries me
G# C#
Is this the better off that you meant?
[Bridge 3]
A#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
Cm
Before but now I'm left behind
G# C#
So make all of this make sense
A#m
And now your voice is haunting me
Cm
Just out of reach it buries me
It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
[Outro]
A#m Cm A#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
A#m Cm A#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
A#m Cm A#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
A#m Cm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
