verse 1
Am F C G
Do I want to forgive my sins while yours are still bleeding?
Am F C G
I forgot what it's like to live and get lost in dreaming
Am F
Will you push me out into the great unknown
C G
Let me go, let me float through the darkness?
Am F
Did I hold you back and throw it all away?
C G
'Cause a lie is just fear, let's be honest.
Pre-Chorus
Am
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Am
Cut the strings and fall like a marionette.
[Refrão]Am F C G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Am F C G
Cry for help like you're the martyr, oh.
