I've held on so long, to what I want you to become
           Ab      Eb         Ab            Eb        Fm       Eb
I see that you are not what I dreamed you'd be, that's not your fault

          Ab              Eb
See long ago I made up my mind
          Ab                Eb
She would be the love of my life
      Ab               Cm
Now I see ignorance is bliss
  F       Bb                      Cm               Ab          Eb Ab Eb Cm
I fell in love with an idea in my head, but that's not who she is

    Eb      Ab     Eb
See I, I'll take a thought
 Ab             Eb                      Fm          Eb     Ab
And I'll let it grow til underneath its weight I am caught
     Eb    Ab        Eb
Then all I saw was a glimpse
   Ab      Eb              Fm         Eb
Of who you might be, and I lay down these bricks

         Ab                  Eb
Building walls so lovely and strong
          Ab                 Eb
There's no way no chance I am wrong
           Ab                                  Cm
Our castle stands and I know just where she'll fit
               Bb                                  Cm
She'll be with me here in my arms and I'm crazy in love
     Ab
With who I think she is

And when I finally get to see you
    Eb               Ab
And I latch onto the hope I see in you
   Cm        Bb                      Eb
Now I let go, I'll see that there's a chance
                       Ab             Cm
What I hoped for might actually be so

            Bb            Eb
But I cannot justify this
                    Ab                    Cm
Small suspicion that slowly is creepin' in
                Bb
That the castle walls are shaken
  Eb                   Ab         Bb
I fight the fact maybe I was mistaken

    Eb Ab          Eb
And I  hate when I knew
     Ab          Eb               F       Fm           Eb
That nothing was real in all that I had believed to be true
               Ab        Eb
And walls came crumblin' down
    Ab          Eb                            Ab          Eb
And all I could think is where is all of that wasted time now

          Ab               Eb
See long ago I made up my mind
          Ab     Eb
She would be the love of my life
      Ab                             Cm
Now I see I never really knew you one bit
              Bb                Cm
See I fell in love with an idea in my head
          Ab          Eb             Ab          Eb
But thats not who she is, thats just not who she is
          Ab          Eb
But thats not who she is
