[Verse 1]
CI was born come Fon the break of Cspring
Cmama told me FI got joy to Cbring
but AmI got something Fburied in my Csoul
Gnothing ever Fseemed to make me Cwhole
CI got on my Fknees and learned to Cpray
CGod, if you're the Fone then I will Amstay
Fbut I was given wings to fly Caway
GI keep my word as Flong as I'm Cokay
[Chorus]
so tell me what it Ammeans my fingers on the Fstrings
I'm praying I got Csomething worth the breath it takes to Gsay
and I don't underAmstand why I should get the Fchance
while in my dreams my Cteeth are crumbling out into my Ghands
when I can't earn this planC  
[Verse 2]
I Cwish that I were Fbetter at goodCbyes

I Amguess there's something Fdifferent in my Chead
but GI'll pretend I Funderstand insCtead
You tChink I found a Fplace where i beClong
but Cnothing keeps me Frooted here for Amlong
I'd Frather travel to a stranger Cplace
then Grecognized as Fa familiar Cface
[Chorus]
so tell me what it Ammeans my fingers on the Fstrings
I'm praying I got Csomething worth the breath it takes to Gsay
and I don't underAmstand why I should get the Fchance
while in my dreams my Cteeth are crumbling out into my Ghands
