Intro: - - -
Verse 1:
The air that you breathe it must be poison
And you're dressed up in your best disguise
Bridge 1:
I don't want to hear what you have to say
It's there in your eyes when you look away
These beautiful words are turning into lies
Chorus 1:
How can you say that to me
Verse 2:
The light that still shines is just an illusion
Just a memory from a burned out star
Bridge 2:
Its promise has come from so far away
It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far
Chorus 2:
Well now how can you say that to me
After all of those secrets you let me believe
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
Well now how can you say that
Bridge 3:
It's not this silence that screams in my mind
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
Living in shadows, still getting burned
When will I ever learn
Chorus 3:
Well now how can you say that to me
After all of those secrets you let me believe
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
Well now how can you say that to me
Outro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A (repeat & fade)
