Em
Words cut like diamonds through this window pane,

Voices crashing loudly, in what seems to drown the rain.

Your words don't bother me so I say.

But i will wait for the sun to go but return,

Now when poison is burning through my veins,

Well I'm hoping that you are to blame

This truth you find in me
C Em
I'm losing can't you see, and now I know

When guns go and leave you lying in the sand,
