[Verse 1]
BDarling, I feel, though we say we are near
That our hearts are divided by Ewords
BAll this time set aside spent repeating the line that
We said only 'cause it felt Eright
BAnd though I loved you a lot it's the love that forgot
To change with the time that we Ekept
BSo don't tell me your thoughts haven't come 'cross this once
I have seen how you stare at the Ewall
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll Emhold on to Asomething that you Bknew
Hold up a cEmloud to show the Asilver lining Bgrew
When the Emtime is right, soon Ayou will fly Baway
Find Emanother much Acloser to F#say 'I love you'
[Chorus]
So just Bleave me Ealone. I don't G#mlove you no C#mmore
Let this Btime we spent grow Eold, slip and G#mdie on the C#mfloor
Yeah, and half of what I'm F#saying will never reach your Bheart
[Verse 2]
Unlike Btrees who are blind to the constraints of time
And they change when they feel that it's Eright
We chose to Blinger along holding notes of a song
That we sang such a long time Eago
Do you Bremember the sun, count the clouds one by one?
We could blink and the day would be Edone
Never used to Bsay days were good, it was just understood
Seems these days, 'good' is all that we Esay
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll Emhold on to Asomething that you Bknew
Hold up a cEmloud to show the Asilver lining Bgrew
When the Emtime is right, soon Ayou will fly Baway
Find Emanother much Acloser to F#say 'I love you'
[Chorus]
So just Bleave me Ealone. I don't G#mlove you no C#mmore
Let this Btime we spent grow Eold, slip and G#mdie on the C#mfloor
Yeah, and half of what I'm F#saying will never reach your Bheart
[Outro]
Well, Efear took over time took over Btime
Showed the Enew the new will leave our futures Bblind
If you Ehave something that's fine just leave it Bfine
You don't Ewant to regret that you'd left something Bbehind

[Verse 1]

Darling, I feel, though we say we are near

That our hearts are divided by words

All this time set aside spent repeating the line that

We said only 'cause it felt right

And though I loved you a lot it's the love that forgot

To change with the time that we kept

So don't tell me your thoughts haven't come 'cross this once

I have seen how you stare at the wall

[Pre-Chorus]

Em A B

And you'll hold on to something that you knew

Em A B

Hold up a cloud to show the silver lining grew

Em A B

When the time is right, soon you will fly away

Em A F#

Find another much closer to say 'I love you'

[Chorus]

B E G#m C#m

So just leave me alone. I don't love you no more

B E G#m C#m

Let this time we spent grow old, slip and die on the floor

F# B

Yeah, and half of what I'm saying will never reach your heart

[Verse 2]

Unlike trees who are blind to the constraints of time

And they change when they feel that it's right

We chose to linger along holding notes of a song

That we sang such a long time ago

Do you remember the sun, count the clouds one by one?

We could blink and the day would be done

Never used to say days were good, it was just understood

Seems these days, 'good' is all that we say

[Pre-Chorus]

Em A B

And you'll hold on to something that you knew

Em A B

Hold up a cloud to show the silver lining grew

Em A B

When the time is right, soon you will fly away

Em A F#

Find another much closer to say 'I love you'

[Chorus]

B E G#m C#m

So just leave me alone. I don't love you no more

B E G#m C#m

Let this time we spent grow old, slip and die on the floor

F# B

Yeah, and half of what I'm saying will never reach your heart

[Outro]

E B

Well, fear took over time took over time

E B

Showed the new the new will leave our futures blind

E B

If you have something that's fine just leave it fine

E B

You don't want to regret that you'd left something behind
