Cm          A#                  D#        G#
Young love, close the chapter, there's no ever after
Cm         A#             D#  G#
Fell fast, ended faster, yeah
Cm          A#             D#     G#
Late night conversations, led to complications
Cm     A#             D# G#
Now my heart is in my hands

      G#                 A#
Cause you walked out and left me stranded
Cm                A# 
Nothing left but picture frames
   G#              A#
And I just keep on asking myself

Chorus:
Cm                D#             G#
How'd we drift so far away from where we left off yesterday?
Cm                D#      G#
I'm lonely like a castaway
Cm                D#               G#
Heartbreak that I can't escape, a sinking
ship I'll never save
Cm                D#      G#
I'm lonely like a castaway

All your screaming whispers
Slip right through my fingers
But these memories linger on (Oh-oh)
Eyes closed, all I see is
Good times disappearing
And I'm trying to hold on (Oh-oh)

'Cause you walked out and left me stranded
Nothing left but picture frames
I just keep on asking myself

Chorus:
How'd we drift so far away
From where we left off yesterday?
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
Heartbreak that I can't escape (I can't escape)
a sinking ship I'll never save (I'll never save)
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)

How'd we drift so far away
From where we left off yesterday?
I'm lonely like a castaway

Chorus:
How'd we drift so far away (So far away)
From where we left off yesterday? (Yesterday)
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
Heartbreak that I can't escape (I can't escape)
a sinking ship I'll never save
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
