Dm C A# A

I am standing on the edge of returning or just running away

Dm C A# C

I am letting myself look the other way

Dm C A# A Dm

And the hardest part in all of this is I don't think I know my way back home

Is it worth the journey or do I let my heart settle here

How cold have I become

A# C

I didn't want to

Dm C

Lose you by what I'd done

A# C

Caught in the grey

Dm C A# C

Dm C A# A

I don't wanna look you in the eyes, you might call my away

Dm C A# C

I don't wanna give you the chance to make me stay

Dm C

And the hardest part in all of this is

A# A Dm

I know my way back, I don't want to go

C A# C

And let you see all that has become of me

I should've known, I should've known
