intro: Dm Bb A

      Dm                   Bb       C
"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
            Dm
"Try not to lose you."
            Bb            C
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Dm
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
        Bb        C
unmasked fear.
              Dm       Bb         C          Dm
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.


Dm            
Nothing hurts my world,
       Bb               A
just affects the ones around me
     Dm                
When sin's deep in my blood,
       Bb            A
you'll be the one to fall.


Dm              Bb      C
"I wish I could be the one,
    F             Bb
the one who won't care at all
Dm            Bb           C
But being the one on the stand,
           F             Gm            Bb
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
Dm                    Bb               C
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
F           Bb
I know it's hard to fall.
Dm          Bb           C
Confided in me was your heart
            F                     Gm      Bb
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."


Dm                        
Nothing will last in this life,
Bb            A    
our time is spent constructing,
Dm                             Bb         A
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Dm                          
Constrict your hands around me,
Bb                A
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
Dm                          
this air tastes dead inside me,
Bb         A             Dm
contribute to our plague.
Dm
Break all your promises,
Dm
tear down this steadfast wall,
Dm
restraints are useless here,
Dm
tasting salvation's near.


Dm            
Nothing hurts my world,
       Bb               A
just affects the ones around me
     Dm                
When sin's deep in my blood,
       Bb            A
you'll be the one to fall.


Dm              Bb      C
"I wish I could be the one,
    F             Bb
the one who won't care at all
Dm            Bb           C
But being the one on the stand,
           F             Gm            Bb
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
Dm                    Bb               C
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
F           Bb
I know it's hard to fall.
Dm          Bb           C
Confided in me was your heart
            F                     Gm      Dm
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."
