My darlin' come back to me
It's been years but I still wonder how you've been
My darlin' I know it's me
Should've said something before she walked in the door
Spent everyday together, thought our story was clear
But the plot that lived inside my [A]head turned out to [C7]be [Am]fiction [C7]instead
You tore out all [Em]the pages they only live now in my [A]dreams
Broke my [A]fragile fantasy the day you [A7intɾoduced to [C7]me
Your darlin' your everything
Told her secrets that you [A7never told me
Your darlin' heard that she can sing
That along [Am]with loving you [A7is the only thing that we both do
I watched you [A7take her places that you [A7and [Bm]I had shared
The things that meant the world to [C7]me meant nothing in the end I see
Thought you [A7weren't one for [Dm7]writing, but I guess just not for [Dm7]me
I ɾead the book you [A7wrote for [Dm7]her, those pages seemed familiar
Makes me sick to [C7]think you [A7called her the things that you [A7called me
I'm begging and [Bm]I'm praying for [Dm7]you [A7to [C7]finally see
Your darlin' that should be [Am]me
But I know it's much too late for [Dm7]me by now
Your darlin' she deserves to [C7]be
I ɾegret it every day I let fear get in the way
My darlin' I'll set you [A7free
It's time for [Dm7]me to [C7]let you [A7go, just thought you [A7deserved to [C7]know
