Take my breath away, I don't need it anyway
cause I'm fine here in my old forgotten world
where I can be myself, left with the hand I'm dealt
and it's hard to get a grip when you're holding onto something you just let slip away

Chorus
chords are played by piano and bass
Dm Bb F
I do wanna feel something you call real
A Dm
I don't think that I've got time for these scars to heal
Bb F
And the days just go by leaving questions in my mind
A
I guess I'll find the answers some day in another life

Here with my old friend, the silence in the end
And it rings so loud that I cannot pretend
I just close my eyes and ask a thousand whys
Will it change or stay the same? Will it ever go away?
The question still remains

Warning signs read desolation
On the road of desperation
Happiness machines, I'm coming clean
What can you do for me?
