D#m7 C#

C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#

C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#

C# F#

D#m7 C#
You were hurt so you got hard
A#m G#
You were cursed and scolded and scarred
D#m7 C#
You were searched for, then ignored
D#m7
You want to burn the liars
C#

A#m G#
Waiting for this to be fun
D#m7 C#

D#m7 C#

D#m7 C#
Let me breathe
D#m7 C#
