[Verse 1]
GmI want to feel your wreckage, it's a firestorm,
I'm Ffalling like a Gmloaded weapon B#in Fyour Gmarms.
GmParanoid it might be reckless, no matter what I say,
EbIt's only Fgoing to Gmsteal your breath and Fslip Gmaway.
[Chorus]
GmI don't want to dive in Ebfirst,
You don't want to Cmhear Fthese Gmwords.
It's only going to make it Ebworse,
You don't want to Flive that Gcurse.
You're Ctelling Gmme to keep my Ebhope,
Cause you've got a Cmheart of Gmgold.
But maybe you should let me Ebgo,
I love you through a peCrisEbcopeGm.
[Verse 2]
GmYou wear your heart so fearless, it's like it doesn't breathe,
EbYou Fpush Gmaway my demons when they torFture Gme.
GmDon't think that I can fight this pressure pulling me underneath,
FIt's like I've Gmgot the whole world tied around Fmy Gmfeet.
[Chorus]
GmI don't want to dive in fEbirst,
You don't Cmwant to hear Gmthese words.
It's only going to make it Ebworse,
You don't want to live Fthat Gmcurse.
You're telling me to keep my Ebhope,
Cause you've got a heart Fof Gmgold.
But maybe you should let me Ebgo,
I love you through a peFriGmscope.
[Hook]
FOh-Eboh, Cmthrough a periGmscope,
Oh-Eboh, I-I love yoCmu through a periGmscope.
FOh-Eboh, Cmthrough a periGmscope,
Oh-Eboh, I-I love you Cthrough a periGmscope.
[Bridge]
GmI don't want to dive in Ebfirst,
You don't Cmwant to hear these Gmwords.
It's only going to make it Ebworse,
You don't want to live Fthat Gmcurse.
You're telling me to keep my Ebhope,
Cause you've got a Cmheart of Gmgold.
But maybe you should let me Ebgo,
I love you through a FperiGmscope.
