A           E                     F#m
Well how do you know where you're going
         D                       A
when you don't know where you've been
             E                     F#m
You hide the shame that you're not showing
                         A
and you won't let anyone in
          E               F#m
A crowded street can be a quiet place
     D               A
when you're walking alone
           E                     F#m
So now you think that you're the only one
            A       F#m
who doesn't have to try
              A       E
and you won't have to fail
F#m                  A
You're so afraid to fly
       F#m              E
then I guess you never will

    D       A        E
You hide behind your walls
      F#m       A
cause maybe he never hurts
D              A                  E
Forgetting that there's something more

than just knowing better
D       A              E
Your mistakes do not define you now
     F#m       A          D
They tell you who you're not
              A                     E
You've got to live this life you're given
                                  A
like it's the only one you've got
         E                 F#m
The memories have left you broken
         D                A
and the scars have never healed
         E               F#m
The emptiness in you is growing
                        A
with so little left to feel
                 E                F#m
You're scared to look back on the days before
       D                 A
You're too tired to move on
            E                     F#m
And now you think that you're the only one
            A       F#m
who doesn't have to try
              A       E
and you won't have to fail
F#m                  A
You're so afraid to fly
      F#m              E
and I guess you never will
