Lyrics
Separation
Intro
G C9
(Verse 1)
G C9
The pain was buried for years
G C9
Under dirty clothes, dirty dishes and trash piled by the door
G C9
Buried under time and the mundane chores of domestic life
G C9 D
Buried under the struggle to start a life together
(Chorus)
C G
And it's hard to end it
C G
Just as hard as it was to start it
C G G/F#bass Em
Trying to leave with everything that you came with
C D (break)
Trying not to leave
G
Broken Hearted
(Verse 2)
And It's a hard road
Especially when you start off with bad directions
Sometimes you just go to swallow your pride
And stop and ask
Sometimes you can't find anyone that knows where you're going
And sometimes you just have to turn around
And head back home again
(Chorus)
C G
And it's hard to end it
C G
Just as hard as it was to start it
C G G/F#bass Em
Trying to leave with everything that you came with
C D (break)
Trying not to leave
G
Broken Hearted
(Solo over verse)
(Chorus)
C G
And it's hard to end it
C G
Just as hard as it was to start it
C G G/F#bass Em
Trying to leave with everything that you came with
C D (break)
Trying not to leave
G
Broken Hearted
C D (break)
Trying not to leave
G
Broken Hearted
C D (break)
Trying not to leave
G
Broken Hearted
