      D
Ive tried to be fair
        G
And pretend like I care
       Bm                      A
But no asset is worth all the time
       D
Spent listening and laughing
     G
To dramas that mean nothing
      Bm                      A
Cant find any depth to these minds

Chorus:
Bm      D       G
Purity lost in vain
Bm                      D      G   E/G#
And you think I should be the same?
       Bm
Dont assume I will follow
      D
And drop all my morals
    G                          E/G#
So you can look good for the crowd
          Bm
You dont care about my thoughts
          D
Just the light that I brought
    G                   E/G#
Im tired of helping you out

They chose to be blind when lonely and shy
I searched for acceptance at first
Said the traits didn't match
Now you take it all back
When it adds something more to your worth

Chorus:
Purity lost in vain
You think I should be the same?
Don't assume I will follow and drop all my morals
So you can look good for the crowd
You don't care about my thoughts
Just the light that I brought
I'm tired of helping you out

          B
All this time you chose never to care
                  F#m
But now you wont leave me alone
          E/G#          A
Like weve always been close
    D
Im telling you nothing has changed

Chorus:
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same?
Don't assume I will follow and drop all my morals
(Purity lost in vein)
So you can look good for the crowd
You don't care about my thoughts
(Purity lost in vein)
Just the light that I brought
I'm tired of helping you out

You think I should be the same
