[Mike Posner:]
You only Amlove me
In bits and Fpieces
I keep on Gworkin'
You keep your Emsecrets
That's not an Aminsult
That's not a Flie
That's just a Gstatement
Proven by Emtime
Cause even when I Amhave you I don't really have you
I am not your Flast dude. Where'd you get this attitude?
Talkin' 'bout Gyou're leavin' cause you don't believe in
Me and all my Emreasons. Left me with these demons
And this little Ampast,
In this nostalgic Ffeeling
Won't leave me Galone,
I'm faking all my Emsmiles.
And you're just killing me with Amsilence
And you're just killing me with Ftime
I don't know where to put my Gsorry's
You're running laps around my Emmind
How could you leave me on this Amtightrope?
And I feel nothing when it Fstorms
You know you're killing me with Gsilence
You hold your halo up with Emhorns
You hold your halo up with Amhorns
F    G    Em
[Labrinth:]
You know you're Amclever,
I'll give you Fthat
You gave me Gheaven
and took it Emback
That's not an Aminsult
That's just the Fcase
You've had your Gpretty mask on for so damn long
That Emeverybody thinks it's your face
But underneath your Ameyelids, I can hear the silence
Spreading like a Fvirus. Why you wear disguises?
Why'd you have to Gcut me then act like it's nothing?
This time I'm not Embluffing, How you know I'm bluffing?
Every single Amtime
Your wicked little Fmind
Gets inside of Gmine
And i can fake a Emsmile
[Mike Posner & Labrinth:]
But you're just killing me with Amsilence
But you're just killing me with Ftime
I don't know where to put my Gsorry's
You're running laps around my Emmind
How could you leave me on this Amtightrope?
And I feel nothing when it Fstorms
You know you're killing me with Gsilence
You hold your halo up with Emhorns
You hold your halo up with Amhorns
F    G    Em
You hold your halo up with AmhornsF  
G    Em
And you're just killing me with Amsilence.

[Mike Posner:]

You only love me

In bits and pieces

I keep on workin'

You keep your secrets

That's not an insult

That's not a lie

That's just a statement

Proven by time

Cause even when I have you I don't really have you

I am not your last dude. Where'd you get this attitude?

Talkin' 'bout you're leavin' cause you don't believe in

Me and all my reasons. Left me with these demons

And this little past,

In this nostalgic feeling

Won't leave me alone,

I'm faking all my smiles.

And you're just killing me with silence

And you're just killing me with time

I don't know where to put my sorry's

You're running laps around my mind

How could you leave me on this tightrope?

And I feel nothing when it storms

You know you're killing me with silence

You hold your halo up with horns

F G Em

[Labrinth:]

You know you're clever,

I'll give you that

You gave me heaven

and took it back

That's not an insult

That's just the case

You've had your pretty mask on for so damn long

That everybody thinks it's your face

But underneath your eyelids, I can hear the silence

Spreading like a virus. Why you wear disguises?

Why'd you have to cut me then act like it's nothing?

This time I'm not bluffing, How you know I'm bluffing?

Every single time

Your wicked little mind

Gets inside of mine

And i can fake a smile

[Mike Posner & Labrinth:]

But you're just killing me with silence

But you're just killing me with time

I don't know where to put my sorry's

You're running laps around my mind

How could you leave me on this tightrope?

And I feel nothing when it storms

You know you're killing me with silence

You hold your halo up with horns

F G Em

Am F

You hold your halo up with horns

G Em

And you're just killing me with silence.
