Hands that grasp at air where once were things of yours

This mess I didn't make but still it hurts me so

And all the times that I'd caress your freckled arms

When you would hold me in the early hours of dawn

These pictures don't make up for how you left me scorned
C majorC
And so alone in this place that I don't know
E minorEm A minorAm
This place that I don't know
