I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared
    A5   B5                        D5
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds 
    D5                             A5   A5   A5
But together we got good at stopping time

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch 
A5   B5                    D5          D5                     A5   
Oh the pain I must have caused, but by staying around u saved my life

We were never meant to be lovers,    just fellow late bloomers 
    D5       A5   D5       D5       A5  A5   
Who blossomed apart,    who blossomed apart

Watching my parents made me look for something destructive 
      D5        A5
and there you were 
A5         B5                   D5       D5        A5   A5   A5
With all the characteristics of my mom , familiarity of home 

A5  A5      A5  A5          C#5                  D5           A5    
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed 
 A5      B5                     D5            
I'm glad we left things when we did, 
            D5                   A5  A5   A5
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan 


D5            D5        F#5   D5          A5            D5
We were never meant to be lovers,     we just mirrored each other's 
D5            A5   D5    D5            A5  A5  
self destructiveness,     self destructiveness

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together 
         D5         A5
and we played our parts 
  A5       B5              D5           D5                 A5  A5  A5  
And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart 


D5            D5        F#5   D5            A5          D5
We were never meant to be lovers,      our egos fed of each other 
    D5      A5   D5       D5       A5  A5  A5  A5  A5
And died overweight,    and died overweight,

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up 
   A5       B5                           D5         
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself 
       D5          ( A5 )   
And you haven't ever stopped
