I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared
    A4   Bm                        D
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds 
    D2/F#                             A   A4   A
But together we got good at stopping time 

A  A4      A  A4      C#m              D        A    
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch 
A4   Bm                    D          D2/F#                     A

We were never meant to be lovers,    just fellow late bloomers 
    D2/F#       A   D       D2/F#       A  A4   
Who blossomed apart,    who blossomed apart

Watching my parents made me look for something destructive 
      D        A
and there you were 
A4         Bm                   D       D2/F#        A   A4   A
With all the characteristics of my mom , familiarity of home 

A  A4      A  A4          C#m                  D           A    
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed 
 A4      Bm                     D            
I'm glad we left things when we did, 
            D2/F#                   A  A4   A
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan 


D            D2/F#        F#m   D2/F#          A            D
We were never meant to be lovers,     we just mirrored each other's 
D2/F#            A   D    D2/F#            A  A4  
self destructiveness,     self destructiveness

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together 
         D         A
and we played our parts 
  A4       Bm              D           D2/F#                 A  A4  A  
And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart 


D            D2/F#        F#m   D2/F#            A          D
We were never meant to be lovers,      our egos fed of each other 
    D2/F#      A   D       D2/F#       A  A4  A  A4  A

A  A4      A  A4                 C#m                    D     A    
I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up 
   A4       Bm                           D         
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself 
       D2/F#          ( A )   
And you haven't ever stopped
