ones"

me
And you're doing your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll

tell the story of us
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw

you here
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
A
But you held your pride like you
G
should have held me
But you held your pride like you should have held me
[Verse]

Oh, we're scared to see the ending
G
Why are we pretending this is
D
nothing?
Why are we pretending this is nothing?

I'd tell you I miss you but I don't

But I liked it better when you were
G
on my side
But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now
(G)
But I would lay my armor down

fight
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
G
So many things that you wish I knew
A -stop
But the story of us might be ending
soon
But the story of us might be ending soon
