Fm
He was certain
So was I
C#
There was comfort
In her sighs
A#m
Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
Fm                       C
You waited smiling for this
Fm
Oh she’d want it
If she knew
C#
She could take it
I thought too
A#m
Be careful be cautious but you just wished harder
Fm                       C
You waited smiling for this

Chorus:
           F                              A#
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
Thousands and thousands of
Dm
Eyes just like mine
C
Aching to find
         A#
Who they are
          F                             A#
And they love you! oh you can feel how they
love you!
Coated and warm but that’s
Dm
All they can do
 C
Words only get through
            A#
If they’re sharp

Oh, how fitting for one so fake
Make me a fairy, whatever it takes
And just like her tale, my dream was a scam
You waited, smiling, for this?
I am burnt out, I smell of smoke
It seeps through her cracks and so I start to choke
Sentences sit in her mouth that are templated
You waited, smiling, for this?

Chorus

A#sus4                 A#
I can just talk about it
A#sus4                 A#
Maybe I'll talk about it
A#sus4                 A#
I'll never talk about it
A#sus4                A#
I cannot talk about it

Don't build hope on something broken
I am not cartoon
Cry for help, I am not joking
I might just leave soon
Don't build hope on something broken
I am not cartoon
Cry for help, I am not joking
I might just leave soon
