[Verse 1]
F#m E A C#
You left me on read
F#m E A C#
Why choose not to answer all our conversations?
F#m E A C#
It's got me messed up in the head
F#m E A C#
You're the other half of my heart but then you tear it apart, I'm falling into
F#mb6
pieces

[Pre-Chorus]
C#7
Wanna shut you out but I need you
F#m
Run away, you'll always find me
[Chorus]
F#m E A C#
I wish that you would light that fire, no one would have to find me
F#m E A C#
Why's it so hard to live in the flames? You find a way to burn it out
F#m E A C#
Nothing's a secret, a journal's just things you never said
F#m E A C#
Not hiding from people I know all the things you never said
F#m E A C#
Things you never said, you never said

[Verse 2]
F#m E A C#
Didn't want to be controlled
F#m E A C#
But when I do things on my own you find a way to tell me that it's stupid
F#m E A C#
I'm never bowing to your throne
F#m E A
I just wanna be left alone. Man but I hate being lonely

Go ahead, be the star, I'll sit back and watch the show
G#m
The'll soon find out just like I did,
C#
who's the girl behind the curtain?
