I Let You Fade

(início)

Em
Parking lot light buzzing over our heads
C
Rain on the windshield, blurring what you said
G
You sighed: I can't keep bleeding for two
D
Hands in your pockets, eyes straight through
Em
Key fob shaking in my stupid hand
C
Mouth full of words that would not land
G
You turned away with your jaw locked tight
D
Tail lights cut a line through the night
C
I still taste that night every time I breathe
D
All the soft lies stuck behind my teeth
Em
One slammed door and the world rearranged
D
Now every heartbeat sounds like your name
C
I'm still trapped in the night you said: Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, but I couldn't breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I made
Em
I let you fade
C
Every road that I take still screams your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I made
D
I let you fade
Em
Your coffee cup's still stained on my desk
C
Lip print there like a closing threat
G
I wear your shirt when the nights get loud
D
Then rip it off when I think too proud
Em
Friends say: Man, you gotta let it go
C
But they weren't there in that yellow glow
G
When you stared through me like I wasn't there
D
Every promise hanging thin in the air
C
I still taste that night every time I breathe
D
All the sharp truths hiding under my teeth
Em
One small word might have changed your mind
D
Now I chew on every line I left behind
C
I'm still trapped in the night you said: Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, but I couldn't breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I made
Em
I let you fade
C
Every road that I take still screams your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I made
D
I let you fade
Em
I've punched walls just to feel something crack
C
Blamed the mirror, blamed the pills, blamed the lack
G
Turned my chest into a war I can't win
D
Every kick drum beating where you've been
Em
But I can't stay parked in that scene on repeat
C
Living tied down to an empty seat
G
If you called right now, I'd still hesitate
D
'Cause I finally see what I did when I watched you
C
I'm not stuck in the night you said: Leave
G
Hands on the wheel, and I finally breathe
D
It's not the hurt, it's the choice I change
Em
I won't let you fade
C
Every road that I take won't wear your name
G
It's not the hurt, it's the weight I trade
D
I won't let me fade
Em
I won't let me fade
