Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C

Bury all your secrets in my skin

Am

Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins

F

The air around me still feels like a cage

G

And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

Chorus

C

So if you love me, let me go

Am

And run away before I know

F

My heart is just too dark to care

G

I can’t destroy what isn’t there

C

Deliver me into my fate

Am

If I’m alone I cannot hate

F

I don’t deserve to have you

G

My smile was taken long ago

C

If I can change I hope I never know

Verse 2

C

I still press your letters to my lips

Am

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss

F

I couldn’t face a life without your light

G

But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Chorus

C

So if you love me, let me go

Am

And run away before I know

F

My heart is just too dark to care

G

I can’t destroy what isn’t there

C

Deliver me into my fate

Am

If I’m alone I cannot hate

F

I don’t deserve to have you

G

My smile was taken long ago

C

If I can change I hope I never know

Bridge

F

You sold me out to save yourself

G

And I won’t listen to your shame

F

You ran away, you’re all the same

G

Angels lie to keep control

F

My love was punished long ago

G

If you still care, don’t ever let me know

C

If you still care, don’t ever let me know

Chorus

C

So if you love me, let me go

Am

And run away before I know

F

My heart is just too dark to care

G

I can’t destroy what isn’t there

C

Deliver me into my fate

Am

If I’m alone I cannot hate

F

I don’t deserve to have you

G

My smile was taken long ago

C

If I can change I hope I never know
