[Intro]
A E F#m E**
[Verse 1]
A
Hey, it's been a while
E
You've got new shoes, I've got new glasses
F#m
Don't tell me that you miss my mind
E**
We both know it's too late for that
A
Hey, it's been a while
E
I've had bad dreams you're, sleeping soundly
F#m
I won't tell you that I miss the nights
E**
You were being next to me
F#m
Cause I don't
[Chorus]
E
You saw the best parts of me
F#m
And thought they'd look better broken
E
You liked my independence so much
F#m
You made sure I felt alone
E
The captivation of bad habits
F#m
Pulled me down to these distractions
E
But I lost the best parts of me
A E
And I don't wanna be broken
A E
I don't wanna be broken
[Verse 2]
A
And tell me did you think
E
I'd miss your cloudy disposition
F#m
I knew our time was up
E
When it was storming in my bedroom
A
And when the flood came
E F#m
I begged "Bring me to the surface"
E
You said "I won't"
[Chorus]
F#m E
Cause you saw the best parts of me
F#m
And thought they'd look better broken
E
You liked my independence so much
F#m
You made sure I felt alone
E
The captivation of bad habits
F#m
Pulled me down to these distractions
E
But I lost the best parts of me
A E
And I don't wanna be broken
A E
I don't wanna be broken
