Verse 1:
         
My hands shake cos today
  
I know you're gonna

break my heart and

  My life without you in it
Is a life thats
not worth living

I'll be strong but I wish
      
I was someone else
              
Anyone but me tonight


Chorus:
        
Here I stand (Here I stand)
     
All alone (Here I stand)
  
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong
          
enough to breathe (Here I stand)
        
Without you (Here I stand)
      
In my life (Here I stand)
                
And I wish I was anyone but me

Verse 2:
                            
So I'll start to pretend I'm ok
               
But you should know by now that

  My life is smoke and mirrors
One thing is crystal clear
     
That I'm the one wishing
      
I was someone else
              
Anyone but me tonight


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: Cm--


Bridge:
          
(Where do we go?)
          
  (Where do we go?)
                      
  Inside I start to fall apart
           
(Where do we go?)
                      
And I'll pretend I'm holding on
           
(Where do we go?)
                           
I guess I'll bleed in silence
          
(In silence)
                             
I guess I'll bleed in silence


(Repeat Chorus twice)
