[Intro]
C G C G
[Verse]
I hope my abCsence haunts you like a ghost
Eating aGway at you from time to time
I know I’m abCsent from your life and mind but you Gstill haunt mine
[Verse]
There’s a Amdifferent kind of emptiness you Gleft me with after all of this
And FI can’t wrap my head around the Cfact that you’re not coming back
There’s a Amchemical imbalance that you Gleft inside my brain
FYou’re the reason why the alcohol is still Crotting in my veinsF  
[Chorus]
I’ll be ok Amthis is something I can Cget through
But I dFon’t know if I can Amsay the same aCbout you
[Verse]
I know a Cworld of stability is all that you could ever see Gand when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
I hope you Cbuckle at your knees and think of Gme
[Verse]
I’ll leave you with this Amemptiness as your parting gift
These Gheavy words I know you can’t lift
C(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
The Amchemicals have balanced as I’m Gwriting off your name
I hope the Cthought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brainF  
[Chorus]
I’ll be oAmk this is something I can Cget through
But I doFn’t know if I can Amsay the same abCout you
[Bridge]
FTruth be told we are not the same
A Gfuture sold that was built on blame
I Ampray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
I’ll Cstay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
FDay in day out it won’t get better
EvGen your friends say forever fair-weather
Stay Amstuck. You’re a stormy sky with an Cidle mind you deserve each otherF  
[Outro]
And I’ve been Gpicking you apart in Ammy head
Trying to see between Fyou and me if there was Ganything worth Amkeeping
I’m empty handed once again
    CConstant conseFnt. You lied to him about the time we Cspent.
Relapse. Repent. FYour judgement lapse came and Amwent.
You said that Clife was built on compromise
A Fstatement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
So Amin the end you took what was yours and Cstole what was mine.
