Em
Don't cry victim to me
   C         D
Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone.
Em
Now it's my turn to speak
     C          D
It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me.
Em
I'll be dammed fighting you
    C      D
It's impossible, impossible
Em
Say goodbye with no sympathy

E5
You'll never know what I was thinking before you came round
Take a step, take a breath
Put your guard down!
I cannot worry anymore of what you think of me
I may be crazy, but
I'm buried in your memory!
