I wonder where you are
Please don’t come
around tonight
cause I can’t stand to see

I think I'll be ready to make
the same mistakes again with you
Riff: x4
Verse 1:
I finally fi-gured out that
you’re not coming back
and I'm not go-ing anywhere
You were the one with all the
faith how did you let it slip away?
That’s right, I'm
blaming this all on you
and the little
things you didn’t do
We both knew that
you were stronger
could have fought
a little longer
You didn’t hold
it tight enough
You lost your grip and I slipped
right through your fingers
Chorus:
No more sleepless nights alone
This bed is better without you
No more waiting up for calls
I've got nothing left to say to you
Ab(hold)
Verse 2:
Tell me again a--bout
those better days
This silence hurts me more
than anything you could say
Broken knuckles broken heart
I fell in love then fell apart
You tried to run I tried to
hide still we managed to collide
Fell so hard matching scars
Held you close felt so far
Hearts beating out of time
You’re screaming with
no reason and no rhyme
(Repeat Chorus)
Post chorus:
So I will save this last breath
for words that I won’t scream
Cm Bb Ab(hold)
I don’t feel like dying
(Repeat Intro Riff)

Just when the wounds start healing
you’re there to break me open
Watch the blood spill
I’m getting used to this
I'll clean it in the morning
(Repeat Chorus and Post chorus)
Outro:
I wonder where you are
Please don’t come
around tonight
cause I can’t stand to see
you and I don’t want to fight
Gimme one more
drink and I swear
I think I'll be ready to make
the same mistakes again without you

Verse 1:
It’s kinda sad that I have learned
to deal with things like this
Being strong means being heartless
Tell me how do the scars
feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you
were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still
shine as bright as
they did the days when
you were at your best?
Refrain:
If you run away from me
I’m not running after you
(Cause I’m so tired)
If you turn away from
this don’t look back
(Cause I’ll be gone)
Chorus:
If you go then I'll forget you
When you’re gone I won’t miss you
I’m sorry that’s just the way
I’ve learned to deal
with a broken heart
(Repeat)
Post Chorus:
And broken promises
Verse 2:
It’s been a long time since I’ve
seen you and longer since we’ve talked
And the last thing that
I said was I had nothing to say
Now I’m choking on my words
All the things I didn’t say
that could have made it all ok
Refrain 2:
Now that you’re all alone
and feeling sorry for yourself
Did it make sense to lie to me
and deceive me like you did?
(Repeat Refrain 1 and Chorus and Post chorus)
(Repeat Intro but only twice)
Bridge:
Tell me, how do the scars
feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you
were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still shine as
bright as they did the
days when you were at your best?
Outro:
How do the scars feel
after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when
they cauterized?

Verse 1:
Standing on my doorstep in the rain
Make-up running down your face
You look so good right now
It’s bittersweet that you run to me
I need you I bleed you
I would give up breathing for you
If you would take my
breath and hold it in
I need to be
Chorus 1:
Inside of you
Show me where it hurts
Show me what love’s done to you
Don’t try to move you’ll only
make it worse than it is already
You had to be so strong
and I had to be so useless
I’m always fucking useless
useless without you
Verse 2:
Tears ran down your face
Like rain on the window
you were looking out
What were you looking for?
I won’t ask tonight
I need this just one kiss
A gentle touch
your sweet caress
My heart would break
my ribs if I hold this in
I must confess
Refrain:
I hate myself
for needing this
I love our
twisted little mess
I know it’s wrong
but it just feels right
The taste of tears
is bittersweet
Chorus 2:
Tonight
Show me where it hurts
Show me what love’s done to you
Don’t try to move you’ll only
make it worse than it is already
You had to be so strong
and I had to be so useless
I’m always fucking useless
useless without you
Verse 3:
I’m scared as hell
It’s about time that I tell you all
the things that you should know
All the things I’m too scared to show
I need you I bleed you
I would give up breathing for you
If you would take my
breath and hold it in
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 3:
Tonight
Show me where it hurts
Show me what love’s done to you
Don’t try to move you’ll only
make it worse than it is already

and I had to be so useless
I’m always fucking useless
Ab(hold)
useless without you

“I’m not cold” she said
But she’s shaking
As she’s lying next to me naked
Pulled the hair back from her face
To let that smile heat this place
And this feels so far from real
I’m lost and I love it

I can’t take it
If you’re waiting
I am ready to tell the world
About a girl who showed me
Love again for the first time

Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud
Screaming oh so loud
Tell me if this is real
I need to know before
I get too close

So here we lie in this beautiful mess
Of tangled sheets and beads of sweat
With my heart in your hand
My neck in the other
Should I be scared or
should I come closer?
But it’s still beating
and I'm still breathing
You haven’t hurt me yet
(Repeat Refrain)

Tell me what you thought about
When you were breathing oh so loud
Screaming oh so loud
Tell me if this is real
I need to know before
I get too close
Bridge:
Morning always
comes too quick
When you’re around
When you’re around
You leave me lying here
So they don’t find us out
They’ll find us out
Tear me open at the seams
Take everything you need
Take my heart if
you like the beat
Take my lungs if
it’s hard to breathe
to breathe
(Repeat Refrain 1)

I can’t take it

I am ready to tell the world
About a girl who showed me

Just for that moment
time stood still
Nothing mattered but the
