He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun

Clinging together like honey and leather

C
Sits at the table and goes through emotions
  Em           G
Telling herself that she's trapped

Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that
C
No room to breathe, he's lost in the silence
 Em          G
Wondering what he did wrong
 C                        Em
Thinking that no one cared, feeling like the only one

The truth in your heart is a ticking bomb
Em
The voice inside telling you to run
 C              Em
Keeps screaming to move it along, along

I want you to know that there's always a way out

Heaven's out there somewhere, but you have to leave now
