[Verse 1]
EmI can't shake the demons
And CI can't sleep at night
GI can't stop the screaming
And BmI can't win this fight
CIt was supposed to Emend after
CFive nights of hell
GScars too deep will make you change
I'm Bmjust surviving in my shell
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause Cthere is no going Dback
To the Emman I used to be
CI will never be Dsafe
And EmI will never be free
No, Cthere is no going Dback
To a Emtime before the Bmfear
No Cmatter where I Dgo, I know,
The Emghosts are all too near
[Chorus]
CWHY WON'T THEY LET ME GGO?
WHY CAN'T I EmJUST MOVE ON?C  
I GAVE MY HEART AND SOULEm  
NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE
CIN DARKNESS I STILL SEEEm  
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYESAm  
THEY HAUNT ME EmLIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE GNIGHT
CTHEY RISE...Am  Em
