CGames, changes and Gfears
When will they Dmgo from here
When will they stop
I believe that Cfate has brought us Ghere
And we should be Dmtogether babe
But we're not
FI play it off bit I'm Emdreaming of you
FI'll keep my cool but I'm Gfiendin'
I try to say Cgoodbye and I choke
Try to walk aGway but I stumble
Though I try to Dmhide it, it's clear
My world Fcrumbles when you are Gnot near
GoodCbye and I choke
Try to walk Gaway and I stumble
Though I try to Dmhide it, it's clear
My world Fcrumbles when you are Gnot near
CI may appear to be Gfree
But I'm just a Dmprisoner of your love
I may seem Calright and smile when you Gleave
But my smiles are Dmjust a front, just a front
FI play it off bit I'm Emdreaming of you
FI'll keep my cool but I'm Gfiendin'
I try to say Cgoodbye and I choke
Try to walk aGway but I stumble
Though I try to Dmhide it, it's clear
