C Em
Darling, please, we were too gone to stay

Couldn't get through the night, so we had to call it a day

Dm G
Saw the pain in your eyes, and I knew everything had changed

I'm the breaker of your heart
Dm
I ain't saying what you want
G
But baby, please, know that if
[Refrão]C Em
Somehow we make it alive
Dm G
And both get out on the other side
C Em
Oh, this might be asking a lot
Dm G
When it's all said and done, don't forget that you loved me

Oh, it's cool

You're still the first part of me

I know I set you free
G
But baby, please, know that if
