Am F C
I don´t like walking around this old and empty house

So hold my hand, I´ll walk with you my dear

The stairs creak as I sleep, it´s keeping me awake

Some days I can´t even trust myself
Am F C
It´s killing me to see you this way

Am F C
There´s an old voice in my head that´s holding me back
Am F C
Tell her that I miss our little talks
Am F C
Soon it will be over and buried with our past

We used to play outside when we were young (and full of life and full of love)
Am F C
Some days I don´t know if I am wrong or right
Am F C
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
Chorus
Am F
´Cause though the truth may vary

You´re gone, gone, gone away. I watched you disappear

Just let me go, we´ll meet again soon.

I see you when I fall asleep. Hey!
