^Edon't break too ^bmany hearts. ^{A E}don't take too ^bmany arrows in the ch^Aest. ^C#cry comfortably, let us^E all know what ^byou're thinking. ^{c# E}is there a gesture i ^bcould use to clea^Arly express ^Ei'm at an ut^bter loss for words' ^{A c#}is there a part of ^byou that's t^Aorn' that's larger than lif^Ee' ^Ethat'll h^bold on for one m^c#ore night'

^Ei've got a speech to m^bake. ^Efollowed by a big para^bde.

^Enorthside. cl^Aosed eyes. ^c#all chara^bdes go on for^Aever. ^Ehands tied with^A fools pride. ^c#in a slow^bly fleeing su^Ammer.

^Ejust throw yo^bur hands up at the^A sky. ^Eno use tryi^bng to explain ^Athis. ^c#the clouds are ^bmirrors. i'm disgu^Aised. ^Ei'm not all t^bhat entertainin^c#g. ^Ethe city looks ^bthe same ^{A E}until you noti^bce smaller chan^Ages. ^c#it still kno^bws us all by n^Aame. ^Eit holds us clo^bse to its heart ^c#it holds us close^b to its heart

^Aall my hopes are unalig^bned. ^Athis diagnosis is self-d^besigned.^A

^Eempty room^bs don't hav^c#e pictures to talk ^Ato. ^Ebrickwall vi^bews demand ^c#uninspired after^Anoons. ^Ethe days are^b flooding into mon^Aths. ^Ethe nights a^bre staring into ce^c#nturies.

^Ai've got som^be older pictu^Eres ^Aof people i ^bsee once eve^Ery couple ye^c#ars. ^Aintrigued or una^bmazed. ^E"you wer^c#e so much different^b back in those^A days."

^Eand now this s^bmile has a bitter cu^c#rve. ^Enow these ^beyes are unenchan^Ated. ^Eand all we see i^bs a faded image^c# of what we used t^Eo be. ^Ehow can ^bwe relate ^A

^Ewhen we don^b't know a thing ^c#about each other anymor^Ae' ^Ewhen we don^b't know a thing ^c#about each other anymor^Ae' ^Ewhen we don^b't know a thing ^c#about each other anymor^Ae' ^Ewhen we don^b't know each oth^c#er anymore' ^A

^Eis there a ^bgesture i could ^c#use to clearly express ^{b A}i'm at an utt^ber loss for words^E.
