Fm
When pretending lends a helping hand

         C/E
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go

Fm
Then, the pen begins to write a story

        C/E
With an end that bends right out of our control
[Pre-Chorus]
 Fm
How did we get so jaded? I don't know
Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
 C/E
I never valuated minutes I burned through
Is that just how it goes?
Db
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?
[Chorus]

And I don't think I'll ever make it back

  Cm           Fm               Db
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time

Falling through the hourglass

Fm
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing

             C/E
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way

 Fm
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote

             C/E
Do you still feel the same?
I'll bet your mind has changed [Pre-Chorus]
Fm
How did it get so scary? I don't know
Was it the hard life starving our egos
 C/E
I never valued minutes I burned through
Is that just how it goes?

Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?
