F
You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running
A#
My mind's lost, we always knew this day was coming
Dm                                                 A#
And now it's more fright'ning than it's ever gonna be

F
We grow apart, I watch you on a red horizon
A#
Your lion's heart, will protect you under stormy skies
Dm                                                          A#
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears

C
And as soon as I can hold you once again
                          A#
I won't let go of you, I swear

Chorus:
    F
We live through scars this time
     A#
But I've made up my mind
    C               A#
We can't leave us behind
     F
Anymore

Your hands are cold
Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
This fragile heart
So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
And in the dark, you try to make a payphone call to me

But you're miles away
You're breaking up, you're on your own
It's hard to take
I need an hour just to say hello
But I can't make the truth of if this work out for you or me

We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind, anymore

Chorus

We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
Cause I can't go without you, anymore

Oh, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, no, oh
We get hurt

Chorus:
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
No, we can't leave us behind, anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time, there's no doubt
Cause I can't go without you, anymore

No, I can't go without you, anymore
