Intro: F

Sing:
        Bb
dearest love
            C
I hope this message
          Dm
finds you well
         Bb
as these endless thoughts
C            Dm
drip from my soul
      Bb                C
every single word secretly
              Dm
paints a fairytale
   Bb
of when we will
C      Dm
melt into 


Growl:
(hold)
one


Verse 1:

Growl:
Dm
eyes forfeit 
sight to the pain
cold scalpel's steel 
C        Dm
whispers tear 
at my very core
as I cling to 
C           Dm
memories of you
I am so scared 
   C
so scared
       Dm
I need you with me


Chorus:

Sing:
Bb
  were the last 
words that I 
      C
wrote for you 

Growl:
          Dm
enough to tell you
that in my death 


Sing:
the light that
shone through 
Bb         C
my painful darkness
      Dm
was a blinding vision 


Growl:
of your eternal smile?


Verse 2:


Sing:
Bb         C
  it's me again

Growl:
      Dm
is it me or

am I wrong 


Sing:
Bb         C
  to be concerned?
will the beauty 
        Dm
of your pen 


Growl:
ever cross
my eyes again?


Silence:
Bb    C
  was this all 
  Dm
a lie? why?


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge: Dm--Bb-C x4


Speak:
make it stop
make this pounding 
in my head stop
fill my lungs with air
give me one more day 
to make her 
dreams come true
she understands right?
that I'm not coming back
she understands right?
that I'm not coming back
make it stop make 
the pounding stop
I'm not coming 
back I'm not
coming back
I'm not coming back
I don't know what 
happened who would 
have thought my life 
would end up like this?
I didn't mean 
to hurt her not hurt
her like this I 
can't feel my legs
I can't feel my legs and 
I can't even cry how could 
somebody die like this?


Verse 3:

Sing:

Dm                 Bb
  if my words ever reach 
   Dm                     Bb---
you I'll assume you don't care


Growl:
Dm
never knew that silence could cut so 
Bb               Dm
deep or that you could twist the blade
            Bb
now I curse all of your beautiful lies
I love you and goodbye


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:

Growl:
Dm
cold scalpel's steel whispers
tear at my very core
C    Bb    C
as I cling to my memories of you
