C
You tried your best to bury in the ground
C
A place, a face, a very small town
C
The walls you built are crumbling down
C
Haunted by the shadows all around

The scars are more painful than you'll know

C
You feel like you can never get it right
C
Sticks and stones have given up the fight
C
Cause words cut sharper than a knife
C
And losses become larger than life
