I remember the evenin' you said you were leavin'

No room for forgiveness

[Pre-Chorus]

I won't tell my parents

How I fucked up perfection

And selfishly put myself first

A future of stories, kiss you good mornings

Gone and it's what I deserve

When my friends hear the rumours

With someone who doesn't come close, no

You won't tell your mother 'cause she'll tell your father

And that's just one more broken heart (One more broken heart)

  Em                 G
A future of stories, adventures, and journeys

On fire and falling apart

         D                     D7
When I'm all by myself and the drink doesn't help

         G
Take 'em down from the shelf

    Bb                           D
And I'm reminded I keep fighting walls in my head

         D7                        G                     N.C.
With the miles of regret, 'cause I had every letter, but now
