Dm C
Locked inside the dark,
Gm Dm
I have a secret buried deep,
Dm C
I wish that I could tell you,
Gm Dm
It's forever mine to keep,
Dm C
Strangers on the sidelines,
Gm Dm
Tell me I'm the one to see,
Dm C
Maybe they're alright,
Bb Dm
And maybe you're just my casualty.

Dm C
Now I believe in heaven,
Gm Dm
I believe in destined fate,

And you should raise your hands,
Gm Dm
And pray to God it's not too late,
Dm C
Shadows fall around me,
Gm Dm
Everywhere that I have been,
Dm C
Maybe they're all wrong,
Bb Dm
And maybe you're just my only friend.

But we always love what we can never have.
