Intro:  / - / -  - 


Verse 1: 

                                   
  The air that you breathe it must be poison
                                    
  And you're dressed up in your best disguise


Bridge 1: 
 
  /                 
I don't want to hear what you have to say
     /                 
It's there in your eyes when you look away
      /                     
These beautiful words are turning into lies


Chorus 1: 

                     
How can you say that to me


Verse 2:
 
                                        
  The light that still shines is just an illusion
                              
  Just a memory from a burned out star


Bridge 2:

    /              
Its promise has come from so far away
     /                      
It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
/                             
Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far


Chorus 2:

                   /           
Well now how can you say that to me
                 /            
After all of those secrets you let me believe
                                                 /
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
                   
Well now how can you say that


Bridge 3:

                                        
  It's not this silence that screams in my mind
                                  
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
                                            
Living in shadows, still getting burned
             
When will I ever learn


Chorus 3:

                   /           
Well now how can you say that to me
                 /            
After all of those secrets you let me believe
                                                 /
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
                              
Well now how can you say that to me
