Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]
[Am]I st[Em]ill think
about how it used [Am]to be
So [Bsus4]entwined in my [Em]own lies
Surrounded by this [Am]make believe
I've [Em]been held by despondency
[Am]I should have known the
[Em]road I chose
Would run out on [Am]me, oh no

[Verse 2]
[Em]I could've faded[D], been jaded
By every consequence
[Em]Every word[D] that you hurdled
[Am]Was part of [Em]my defense
You can hurt me, desert me
It makes no difference
I give as good as I get

[Verse 3]
Like [Em]a weight falling from
my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way
again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my
days were over
Wouldn't get the time
to comprehend
[Am](You should've [Em]known that)

[Verse 4]
You should've known it would
make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
[Am](Don't you know [Em]that)
I keep it coming,
my destiny ain't running away from me
[Am]And it's[D] all so bitterswee[Em]t

[Verse 5]
In my [Em]life, I had no room for compromise
The things [B]I've done have been
[D]The ones I have had to [Em]leave behind
Look in my eyes, you barely recognize
The woman who de[D]pended on you
To sing a little praise or cri[Em]ticize, oh no
So I [D]hide it, divide it 'Bout what I feel inside

[Verse 6]
[D]
Now I take it or make it
I'm gonna [Em]be alright
Whether you need me, believe me
You'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like

[Verse 7]
Like [Em]a weight falling from
my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way
again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my
days were over
Wouldn't get the time
to comprehend
(You should've known that)

[Verse 8]
You should've [Em]known
it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
[Am](Don't you know [Em]that)
I keep it coming,
my destiny ain't running away from me
[Am]And it's[D] all so bitterswee[Em]t

[Verse 9]
[Em]
Look into [Am]my eyes,
I won't [Em]be left behind
Every thing's [Am]going to be fine
[Em]And I have never felt like this
I [Am]have no need to reminisce
[Em]Those old days have gone
And [Am]I keep holding on[Em]

[Verse 10]
Like [Em]a weight falling from
my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way
again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my
days were over
Wouldn't get the time
to comprehend
(You should've known that)

[Verse 11]
You should've [Em]known it would
make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
[Am](Don't you know [Em]that)
I keep it coming,
my destiny ain't running away from me
[Am]And it's[D] all so bitt[Em]ersweet

[Verse 12]
Like a weight falling from
my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
[Bm](Never going back)[Em]
When everybody said that my
days were over
Wouldn't get the time
to comprehend
(You should've known that)

[Verse 13]
You should've [Em]known it would
make me stronger
I was never gonna [Bm]fade away
[Am](Don't you know [Em]that)
I keep it coming,
my destiny ain't running away from me
[Am]And it's[D] all so bitt[Em]ersweet

[Verse 14]
Like a weight falling from
my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way
again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my

(You should've known that)

[Verse 15]
You should've [Em]known

I was never gonna fade [Bm]away
(Don't you [Em]know that)
I keep it coming,
my destiny ain't running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
