[Verso 1]
C
I tried to breathe but I cant slow down
Am
My hearts too loud in an empty room
F
Your shadows all thats left now
G
And Im still reaching out to you
C
We used to talk until sunrise
Am
Now I just talk to walls instead
F
Every word you ever told me
G
Keeps repeating in my head
[Pré-Refrão]
Am
Maybe I made it all up in my mind
F
Maybe you were never mine
G
But it felt so real that night
[Refrão]
C
Why did you stay, stay, stay
G
If you were gonna leave me?
Am
Why did you say, say, say
F
You would never need to?
C
Now Im awake, awake, awake
G
With every word between us
Am
I thought love was safe
F
But it just disappeared on us
[Verso 2]
C
I feel the panic in my chest now
Am
Like Im running but Im stuck
F
Every friend I used to lean on
G
Feels like someone Ive lost
C
We were something, we were honest
Am
At least thats what I believed
F
Now Im holding onto nothing
G
While youre letting go of me
-
[Ponte]
Am
So I sit down at the piano
F
Let the chords say what I cant
C
Every note becomes a feeling
G
Every word I never said
Am
And the pain turns into rhythm
F
And the fear becomes a sound
C
I was lost inside the silence
G
Now the music pulls me out
Am
And one day Ill stand in the spotlight
F
With these scars I learned to use
C
Sing the story of the broken
G
Turn the hurt into the truth
[Refrão]
C
Why did you stay, stay, stay
G
If you were gonna leave me?
Am
Why did you say, say, say
F
You would never need to?
C
Now Im awake, awake, awake
G
But Im finally breathing
Am
I thought love would break me
F
But the musics keeping me
---
Outro:
C
Now Im back, back, back
Am
Standing in the spotlight
F
Singing every word we were
G
Turning dark into light
C
Yeah Im back, back, back
Am
Even with a broken heart
F
Cause the music never left me
G
It was there from the start
