verse 1
Am Em
I try to breathe
Am Em
Memories overtaking me
Am Em
I try to face them but
Am Em
The thought is too much to conceive
Pre-Chorus
Am Em Am
I only know that I can change
G Am
Everything else just stays the same
Am Em Am
So now I step out of the darkness
Em
that my life became 'cause
G
I just needed someone to talk to
Dm Am G
You were just too busy with yourself
G
You were never there for me
Dm
To express how I felt
Am G
I just stuffed it down
G
Now I'm older and I feel like
Dm Am G
I could let some of this anger fade
G Dm
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Am G
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you?
Am Em
When all this I was going through
Am Em
You never took the time
Am Em
To ask me just what you could do
Pre-Chorus

I only know that I can change

Everything else just stays the same
Am Em Am
So now I step out of the darkness

that my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
