Em
Leaving through the back door
   C             D
Freezing in the cold
    Em
Communication breakdown
  G            A
Emotional overload
        Em
Been through a wall of fire
    C             D          Em
Now I feel like, the ashes glow

My mind is on the run
I keep running from my shadow
I'm not the only one
Somewhere in the distance
Someone's taking flight
Destination unknown
Just fade into the light

         B
There's so much said and done
          Em                D
But after all the time has come
            G      A
To leave it all behind

Chorus:
                                Em  C
If you could see it through my eyes
                                D   Bm
You's know I tried to change it all
            D            E
I've been trying all my life
C                         D
To stand up every time I fall
G             A              Em
If you could see it through my eyes

I feel sadness up my spine
The future on my hands
I'm standing here alone
With open arms again
Tomorrow ain't no stranger
There'll be a lucky star
And love will find it's way
Into someones heart
Too late for tears
No time to be confused
It's just the echo of our
Swan song

Chorus:
If you could see it through my eyes
You's know I tried to change it all
I've been trying all my life
To stand up every time I fall
If you could see it through my eyes
You'd see that love will always wait
Somewhere out there is my life
A new love that comes my way
If you could see it through my eyes
Through my eyes

What was meant to be forever
Is breaking all apart
What was meant to be forever
Leaves the hole inside my heart
What was meant to be forever
We throw it all away
What was meant to be forever
Was nothing but a game
What was meant to be forever
Is breaking all apart
What was meant to be forever
