Verse 1:
                              
  It's late at night the worlds asleep
                    
And I'm trying not to think
                            
I take some pills cuz my mind bleeds
                              
I'm thinking what is wrong with me
                       
Because the only thing i know
                       
About honesty is every lie i told
     
That you believed


Refrain:
                
I'm afraid To be alone
      
I'm afraid That one day
       
you'll find out


Chorus:
                  
And you'll be amazed
       
At the secrets i keep
              
You'll be amazed
      
At my mouth full of lies
                       
I'm too afraid to come clean
                  
My life's still free
                    
in the house of cards


Verse 2:
                           
  Now i can't look you in your eye's
                           
Because the guilt is killing me
                  
I try disconnect my heart again
            
Just so i can breathe
                 
I wanna be myself again
           
But i just can't coz


(Repeat Refrain as Piano Driven and Chorus)

Bridge:
                             
  It's such a shame what I've become
                        
After years of breaking down
                        
My whole life has come undone
                          
Cuz I'm trying to fake it all
                            
And I know that you love someone
                       
But that someone isn't me
        (hold)
Isn't me  No


(Repeat Intro)

               
You'll be amazed
(Repeat x4)


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
            
     You'll be amazed
            
     You'll be amazed


End on Dm
