Intro
Am
You've buried me here
Bm Am
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
Bm Am
You've hidden the keys to sleep
Bm Am
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
Bm
And now we never can go back
[Verse 1]
Am D
This is what I felt, just being myself
G Em Em7
But I know that you wouldn't stay
Am D
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
G Em Em7
As you drove and made your escape
Am D
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would
Em
And I'm left watching...
[Chorus 1]
G C
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
Em Am
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
Am Bm
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back
[Verse 2]
Am D G Em
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best
Am D G Em
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense
Am D
You swore this was right
Em
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)
Em Am
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
Em
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
Am
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you
[Bridge 1]
Am Bm Am
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
Bm Am
My foundation crippled and cracked
Bm Am
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Bm Am
Two people dissolve into words
Bm Am
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
Bm Am
Two people dissolve into words
[Chorus 3]
G C
Red lights fading out
Em Am
As you drive back to your house
[Bridge 2]
Am
The way I've gone a hundred times
Bm
Before but now I'm left behind
G C
So make all of this make sense
Am
And now your voice is haunting me
Bm
Just out of reach it buries me
G C
Is this the better off that you meant?
[Bridge 3]
Am
The way I've gone a hundred times
Bm
Before but now I'm left behind
G C
So make all of this make sense
Am
And now your voice is haunting me
Bm
Just out of reach it buries me
It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
[Outro]
Am Bm Am
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Am Bm Am
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Am Bm Am
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
Am Bm
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
