[D] Chapter 3, Part 1.
Separation is normal.
When asked why people break up, there is not one simple [G] answer.
A sense of self-knowledge and intentional [Em] awareness is a [G] catalyst between the communication of two partners hoping to achieve emotional [D] intimacy,
but it can also expose desires that are not shared between said partners.
Sometimes [E] relationships end [G] because partners evolve over time,
sometimes [Em] they end because [G] one partner does not feel deserving of love,
sometimes they end [D] due to infidelity or thoughts of such actions,
and sometimes, maybe more often than not, they just end.
[E] Similarly to people, [G] sometimes love can die unexpectedly,
because [Em] sometimes the [G] ego of one partner can suffocate the shared joy.

_ [A] I want to [D] learn what this [Bm] death is.
I [A] want to know [G] what being alone [B] can feel [D] like, and I'll be alright.
_ _ [Bm] Do you want to _ [G] understand?
_ [A] Do you want [D] to be understood?
_ _ [Bm] Can we somehow wrap them [G] in our love, [A] our hands, our hearts [Bm] and know good?
_ [A] _ We built these [Bm] _ [D] gallows, but for who they were [Bm] for?
_ _ [A] We're feeling [D] shallow, I hope you know I don't, but you [A] don't love me [Bm] anymore.
