Standard (EADGBE)

I was nowhere near ready when all it ended

 So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you

You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain

 Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full

 Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain

 It's hard for me to love myself right now,

 I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

 Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak

 So I can only blame myself for this state we are in

 I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late

 Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain

 It's hard for me to love myself right now,

 I've waited, hated, blamed it all on...

You... I need you...less and less...

Every day feeds this moral decay

Yet I've grown to love you even more

 I fall back, and I turn another cheek

 You mouth the words you're not ready to speak

 You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue

 That I'd become so much stronger than you.

Solo

 I will take, what you have for me now, if it's not too late

 If you like, I will leave; I will not miss the last train again

 It's hard for me to love myself right now,

 I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

 It's hard for me to love your face right now

 I'm waiting, hating, needing being

Me... I need you...less and less...

Every day leads us farther away...

From that moment

 It hard for me to hate myself right now

Finally I'm understanding me

 One day we may have whole new me's and you's

 But first I need to learn to love me too.
