Bridge: N.C. I've waited and waited for someone to take it. N.C. Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another. N.C. Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together. N.C. I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing. N.C. I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've Cmaj7painted your patterns but found them attractive. Now Bm7I have been leaning towards a Em7life far more candid, Bm7Though Cmaj7led through the dark with your Deyes as my candles, Where Bm7your life, and my life, diEm7rections can wrangle. And Cmaj7all of a sudden you've left me to handle The Bm7reasons that never forEm7bid me to stand tall. Em7And Cmaj7somehow or somewhere I Dfound out the secret - To Bm7sting alive without Em7actually breathing.
