staF#mnding on my platform, waiting Ffor my train
[Pre-Chorus]
i was Cmessed up, wondering, Gbroke down, stumbling
Amrunning for my Flife
was Cheartbroke, hard up, a lGong string of bad luck
Amsearching with no end in Fsight
[Chorus]
before you called me CbabyF  
Fbefore you looked me Cin the eyes
i had Fnothing left to Csave meF  
before you calleCd me, before you callFed me
Fbefore you called me CbabyF  
[Verse 2]
it’s like the Amwalls came down and the Glights turned on
F#mand the band started pDlaying a Fdifferent song
i was Ambaptized by the Cfire in your F#mkiss
no Ami’ve never, ever Ffelt like this

Amon this lonely heart iFn my chest
[Chorus]
