[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Been walking through fire

That used to burn higher

It's getting hard to feed this flame

A year's worth of heartache

A radio mistake

I don't want to feel this way again

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm stuck in my head

I'm running in circles

Heaven's not as close as we both thought

I'm losing my head

I'm running in circles

And I can't carry on

[Chorus]

I don't wanna waste my time

Trying to change your mind

Bb F

I can feel us fading away

I watch the sun go down

As the lights burn out

Bb F

And nothing feels the same

Gm Eb

So I'm walking away, yeah

Bb F

I'm walking away, yeah

[Verse 2]

Been trying to hold on here

Everything's unclear

It's a fading memory

The shadows been casted

This dark cloud is massive

Waiting for the rain to baptize me

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm stuck in my head

I'm running in circles

Heaven's not as close as we both thought

I'm losing my head

I'm running in circles

And I can't carry on

[Chorus]

I don't wanna waste my time

Trying to change your mind

Bb F

I can feel us fading away

I watch the sun go down

As the lights burn out

Bb F

And nothing feels the same

Gm Eb

I'm walking away, yeah

Bb F

I'm walking away, yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't wanna waste my time

Trying to change your mind

As the lights burn out

And nothing feels the same
