A couple of years and I'm a silhouette My halo is broken now and I'm all that's leftÂ
C#m G#m A
I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went I was bound to the things I didÂ
E B
And after what was saidÂ
F#m A C#m B
Tie up these loose ends These voices are calling me outÂ
F#m A C#m B
I've got the solution You can feed me to something That is leaving this doubtÂ
Chorus:
F#m A C#m A
Whoa, I'm losing hope There's a hole in my heart That's been cut out of stoneÂ

Whoa, cold comes cold goes Could you fill this hole? Cause I can't do it aloneÂ
Interlude: C#m C#m C#m C#m
Verse2:
C#m G#m A E B
A couple of tears and I'm a broken mess The sadness has taken me far too deep in regretÂ
C#m G#m A
So sing me a song about something good My heart's on the thrashing floorÂ
E B
And I've done every single thing I couldÂ
F#m A C#m B
I use to believe in Some kind of feelin' That could change everything I thought I knewÂ
F#m A C#m B
But that door is closed and My heart feels like it's frozen If you hear me I can feel youÂ
(Chorus)Â

The coldest heart can be brought to lifeÂ

When it's thrown into the fire of goodbyes x4
