Standard (EADGBE)

When you were locked up in your room alone

Neglecting even just to touch the phone

Salty tears rolling down your cheeks

 Like they had done many times before

Did you fear that every time you speak

Would be the very final word that creeps

Between your teeth and off your tongue before

 You collapse of a broken heart

  I've gone half crazy

  Worried about you

  About you

  My left eye's gone lazy

  Worried about you

  About you

Every morning you were petrified

That nobody could ever pacify

The sinking feeling that you hold deep down

 That kept your heart on hold

My shoulder was an easy place to hide

But I didn't mind because I could pass the time

Counting the thousand little lies you kept

 Inside of your broken heart

  I've gone half crazy

  Worried about you

  About you

  My left eye's gone lazy

  Worried about you

  About you

Every word you say is self-directed

 And I think that that is tragic

And every time you open up your mouth to speak

 It's self-referenced and that's tragic

You don't have to see the world to know it's true

You don't have to see the world to know that it keeps turning
