Bb                    D/Bb
I'm so tired of being here

Bb                  D/Bb
Supressed by all my childish fears

Bb                        D/Bb
and if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave.

Bb                                        D/Bb                      
Because your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone

G5      Eb           F          D   
   When you cried, I wiped away all of your tears

G5      Eb                F          D  
   When you screamed, I'd fight away all of your fears

G5          Eb        F             D         
   and I've held your hands through all of these years

   that you still have... on me

Eb            G              F                Eb 
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

    Eb                 F         D         C5
but though you're still with me, I've been alone

     G5 (back to chorus)
I'm alone
