When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
BF#mEmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
BF#mEmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
BF#m
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
Emaj7
if it does not exist, but darling

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
BF#mEmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
BF#mEmaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
BF#mEmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa
