[Verse 1]
A#mThe truth cannot be anyG#more clear
And I' m not asking you to hA#mold on
It’s everything that you ever G#feared
I know you' re trying so hard to moA#mve on
[Pre-Chorus]
It kind of feels like someoG#ne
Replaced the heart that once was yA#mours
I'm trying hard to be someoG#ne
But falling short of the person I want to F#be     A#m      G#I want to F#beA#m  G#

So I' ll prA#metend I' F#m letting G#go
While you' re dancing in the past without colors
