We threw words like they were sharp knives
             F#             G#m
Fell like we tripped over a landmine

Can't let go, you're like the chemical

You're racing through me, my heart just pounds, pounds, pounds

My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new

Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?
