C  Csus4    C  Csus4       Em           F           C
I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared

    Csus4   Dm                        F
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds

    F2/A                             C   Csus4   C
But together we got good at stopping time

C  Csus4      C  Csus4      Em              F        C
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch

Csus4   Dm                    F          F2/A                     C
Oh the pain I must have caused but by staying around u saved my life

F            F2/A        Am   F2/A      C            F
We were never meant to be lovers just fellow late bloomers

Who blossomed apart who blossomed apart

C  Csus4        C  Csus4           Em
Watching my parents made me look for something destructive

      F        C
and there you were

Csus4         Dm                   F       F2/A        C   Csus4   C
With all the characteristics of my mom familiarity of home

C  Csus4      C  Csus4          Em                  F           C
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed

 Csus4      Dm                     F
I'm glad we left things when we did

            F2/A                   C  Csus4   C
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan

F            F2/A        Am   F2/A          C            F
We were never meant to be lovers we just mirrored each other's

self destructiveness self destructiveness

C  Csus4      C  Csus4                         Em
The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

         F         C
and we played our parts

  Csus4       Dm              F           F2/A                 C  Csus4  C
And I wore an imaginary TV screen so you never got to touch my heart

F            F2/A        Am   F2/A            C          F
We were never meant to be lovers our egos fed of each other

    F2/A      C   F       F2/A       C  Csus4  C  Csus4  C
And died overweight and died overweight

C  Csus4      C  Csus4                 Em                    F     C
I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in but you shut me up

   Csus4       Dm                           F
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

       F2/A          C
And you haven't ever stopped
