[G] You know people [D] always think the most painful thing is losing the [Em] one you love in your life
[C] the truth is
The most painful [G] thing is losing yourself in the process of loving [D] someone
And at some point [Em] you have to realize that some people can [C] stay in your heart, but not in your [G] life
Yeah, love at first sight wouldn't what I [D] imagined infatuation misled the reckless [Em] passion
Misguided actions from one to [C] another down a path of lies that I had to [G] uncover
Plans to be a mother fun unborn [D] dream while time to be free everywhere
But with [Em] me so I just let it be and hope for the [C] best
Only to discover you were just like the [G] rest who took kindness weakness turn it to [D] pain for no better reason than personal [Em] gain
To drive me insane and to drag me [C] down
Where I sit now alone [G] without a heart that was pure and built to [D] last now broken and bruised from my so-called [Em] past
That left me with nothing but wasted [C] time that I should have invested in the [G] mound
My eyes are [D] covered with shade
Shades that [Em] hang in my house.
My heart is in [C] there locked down, babe
[G] Cover my face so nobody [D] can see
The tears that [Em] fall on my cheek.
So the holes [C] inside of me
[G] And maybe you understand but maybe you don't [D] maybe I understand but maybe I won't [Em] baby
I know the Sun ain't going down [C] anytime soon
So I [G] cover my eyes Yeah
[D] [Em]
[C] [Am] [G] I
Had big dreams to live and let [D] love hanging in the balance of push come to [Em] shove
I wasn't above the standard you [C] met I tried but never reached the status you [G] said
I let you build me up just to tear me down [Dm] cuz I ain't had what it took to turn your frown around
[Em] Like you did my heart still I was always there.
[C] That's why we fell so apart
But you never did [G] there was a dead journey from beginning to end [D] after what I went through
We could never be [Em] friends you tore out my trust ripped up my [C] smile stained my soul
We are sentenced to [G] style and all the while I wouldn't build for you
[D] I deserve the better life with a love so true [Em] cuz life's too short to live with a [C] mistake
Even if it feels right the stress is bound to [G] break a good man down to simple and true
[D] Which is what let me hear finish with you.
[Em] Nothing left to do but to pack our past
[C] Toss it out the door soaking wet [G] and grass
my eyes
My eyes are covered [D] with shade
Shades that hang in [Em] my house
My heart is in there [C] locked down [G] Babe
So nobody can see
The tears that fall on [Em] my cheeks or the holes inside [C] of [D] me
[G] And maybe you understand, but maybe you don't
[D] On the sand, but maybe I know [Em] the Sun ain't going down [C] anytime soon
