Am                     Em 
As I drift away... far away from you, 
Am                    Em 
I feel all alone in a crowded room, 
F 
Thinking to myself 
            Dm 
"There's no escape from this 
F 
fear 
regret 
Dm 
loneliness..." 
 
Am 
Visions of love and hate 
                        Dm 
A collage behind my eyes 
Am 
Remnants of dying laughter 
                     Dm 
Echoes of silent cries 
 
Am 
I wish I didn't know now that 
        Em 
I never knew then... 
Am 
Flashback 
                   Em 
Memories punish me once again 
F 
Sometimes I remember all the pain 
Dm 
that I have seen. 
F                       Dm 
Sometimes I wonder what might 
have been... 
 
Visions of love and hate 
A collage behind my eyes 
Remnants of dying laughter 
Echoes of silent cries 
 
Am 
And sometimes I despair 
            Dm 
At who I've become 
Am 
I have to come to terms 
               Dm 
With what I've done 
 
Am 
The bittersweet taste of fate 
                    Dm 
We can't outrun the past 
Am 
Destined to find an answer 
                    Dm 
A strength I never lost 
F 
I know there is a way, 
G 
My future is not set, 
F 
For the tide has turned 
C                            Em 
But still I never learned to live 
           Am 
without regret
