I'm being so brave as far as anyone can tell

C Am C Am
I can't help but wonder what I did to make you go

I guess they say all good things gotta end
C Am C Am
And I can only hope that I can make it on my own

Back to where I started from again

But on the long days the books don't hold me quite as tight

Yeah I'm tired of being angry and I'm tired of being strong

Like a knife into my back, can't forget that kind of hurt
G Am
Do you think about the past or are you memories a blur?
E
Cause it's almost been a year, I still think about that day
F
How I let you disappear, how you let me get away

No, I'll never understand the thing that you could never say, never say
[Refrão]
