G#
The truth runs wild
D#
Like a tear down a cheek
G#
Trying to save face, and daddy heart break

I'm lying through my teeth

This voice inside
D#
Has been eating at me

Trying to replace the love that I fake
D#
With what we both need

G#
The truth runs wild
D#
Like kids on concrete
G#
Trying to sedate, my mind in its cage

Awake, wide eyed

Trying to keep faith and picture his face
D#
Staring up at me

Without losing a piece of me
G#
How do I get to heaven?
D#
Without changing a part of me
G#
How do I get to heaven?
All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
D#
So if I'm losing a piece of me
G# D#
Maybe I don't want heaven?

Like the rain to the sea

Trying to set straight the lines that I trace
D#
To find some release

Trying to embrace the picture I paint

And colour me free
