[Verse]
N.C.
The bridges have been burned again
N.C.
From heart to heart and friend to friend
N.C.
From dust to dust and back again
N.C.
And now I am alone again
N.C.
The bridges have been burned again
N.C.
From heart to heart and friend to friend
N.C.
The gloves are off, let's not pretend
N.C.
The sky's gonna fall
N.C.
I've been here before
N.C.
The time has come, the scene is set
N.C.
The curtain's down, the crowd is left
N.C.
I'm shutting down what power is left
N.C.
I know what's in store
N.C.
I've been here before
[Chorus]
But CI don't wanna wait a Flifetime
I'm Cnot gonna trust Ftime
DmCause my desperate Gheart is all on its CsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiFide
No EmI don't wanna waste a Flifetime
CKeeping it all inFside
DmIt will come when GI least expect it
So CIiiiiiiiFiiiii'm giving up
I'm Emgiving up on CloveEm  
I'm Amgiving up
I'm giving up on Clove
[Verse]
I'm sFtaring out across the sea

When Dmlove comes to call I'll Cgive it my all
