[E]
[B] [E]
Is there ever really a right time?
You [C#m] had led me to believe someday [A] you'd be there for me.
[E]
When the stars above aligned, when [C#m] you weren't so consumed,
I kept [E] looking for the clues.
[F#m]
So I waited in [B] the shadows of my [F#m] heart, and still the time was never [B] right.
Until [E]
one day I [A] stopped caring, [B] and [E] began to forget why [B] I longed to be so close,
and I disappeared into [C#m] the darkness.
And [F#m] the darkness turned to pain, [C#m] and never went away,
until [F#m]
all that remained [F#] was buried [B] deep beneath [E] the surface.
[F#] [E]
[B] [E]
A shell of what things could have been, tired [C#m] bones beneath the veil,
of [A] guarded secrets all too [E] frail.

[F#]
Yet the moment never [B] came, [F#m]
you couldn't risk my fragile [B] frame.

[B] [G#m]
[A] [E]
[B] I [G#m]
would scream just to [A] be heard, as if yelling at [E] the stars, I was bleeding just to [B] feel.
[G#m]
You would never say [A] a word, kept me reaching in the [E] dark, I [E] wished something to [B] conceal.
Until one [E] day I stopped caring, and began to forget why [B] I longed to be so close,
and [E] I [B] disappeared into [C#] the [C#m] darkness.
[F#m] And the darkness turned to pain, [C#m] and never went away,
