Verse

I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave - I wish that you could just leave
'cause your presence still lingers here - and it won't leave me alone

Pre-Chorus

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
Bm D (Em)
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Chorus

Em C D Bm (Em)
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em C D Bm (Em)
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em C D Bm (Em)
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

Verse

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
but now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

Pre-Chorus

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
Bm D (Em)
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Chorus

Em C D Bm (Em)
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em C D Bm (Em)
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em C D Bm (Em)
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

Bridge

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me I've been alone all along

Instrumental

| Em C D Bm |
| Em C D Bm |

Chorus

Em C D Bm (Em)
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em C D Bm (Em)
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em C D Bm (Em)
I held your hand through all of these years
Em C D (G)
But you still have all of me
