We were running in the street

In the middle of July

This is the youngest that we'll be

As the sun went down

And you know it'll get better

But you can't remember how

[Verso 2]
G
I saw you holding up your phone
Em
Can't hear that ringtone anymore

It's like it split open my chest
D
Before it knocked me on the floor

You were leaning on the glass
Em
A poison arrow to the head
C
Somehow you had kept your balance
D
While I was facedown on the bed
Em C G D
I don't know how to deal with hope anymore
