verse 1
G
Hands down caught in the middle,
You knew I was waiting for a lie,
D
But the days got dark for a little.
G
And they can't see that you're trouble,
You said you could change like fire to the rain,
D
But the days stayed dark for a little.
[Refrão]
Em
Cut my teeth on the words you speak
G
Getting lost in the echoes.
Em
And your young years cover up my ears
G
Getting lost in the echoes.
C Em
Cause you built love inside a vacant home
G
You put my hand in yours
A
But I was never yours to hold.
C Em
You knew my fears would always keep me here,
Bm/G
You put my hand in yours,
C
But I was never yours to hold
Em A
I was never yours to hold, no.

I was never yours to hold, no.

Head high losing the battle
Cover up your own tracks and take it back,

Found me foolish and fickle

Never change my mind, just gave up on a time

When the days were dark for a little.
