F C F C
[Verse]
F
I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
C
Eating away at you from time to time
F C
I know I’m absent from your life and mind but you still haunt mine
[Verse]
Dm C
There’s a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
A# F
And I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re not coming back
Dm C
There’s a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
A# F A#
You’re the reason why the alcohol is still rotting in my veins
[Chorus]
Dm F
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
A# Dm F
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Verse]
F C
I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see and when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
F C
I hope you buckle at your knees and think of me
[Verse]
Dm
I’ll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
C
These heavy words I know you can’t lift
F
(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
Dm C
The chemicals have balanced as I’m writing off your name
F A#
I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain
[Chorus]
Dm F
I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
A# Dm F
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you
[Bridge]
A#
Truth be told we are not the same
C
D future sold that was built on blame
Dm
I pray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
F
I’ll stay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
A#
Day in day out it won’t get better
C
Even your friends say forever fair-weather
Dm F A#
Stay stuck. You’re a stormy sky with an idle mind you deserve each other
[Outro]
C Dm
And I’ve been picking you apart in my head
A# C Dm
Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping
I’m empty handed once again
F A# F
Constant consent. You lied to him about the time we spent.
A# Dm
Relapse. Repent. Your judgement lapse came and went.
F
You said that life was built on compromise
A#
D statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
Dm F
So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine.
