I could never find the right way to tell you
Have you noticed I've been gone?
'Cause I left behind the home that you made me
But I will carry it along

And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until you're gone

When I'm older, I'll be silent beside you
I know words won't be enough
And they won't need to know our names or our faces
But they will carry on for us

And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until you're gone

Oh it's a long way forward, trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until...

[Verse 1]
There's no doubt
I can tell you're acting your heart out
And she's addicted
Obsessed like, "I know I can fix him" (Oh)
She's got hearts in her eyes
And she draws me kissing other guys
Her love, the type
Where she don't know where to draw the line (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Cheerleader
Thought she needed me, but I need her
(Oh, baby, you tell me, you're singing)

[Chorus]
It's not fair
'Cause I knew you like the back of my hands
Well, don't you care? I gave you everything, ah
Now I feel you even when you're not there

[Verse 2]
It's kinda sad how
It's not your fault you're living in a madhouse
I can't back down
Aren't you tired of blending into the background? (Oh)
She's got hearts in her eyes
Saying, "Boy, you better watch the time
'Cause if you're not mine
I'd rather see you burned alive," oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Cheerleader
Says she hates me 'cause I'm not hers
(Oh, baby, you tell me, you're singing)

[Chorus]
It's not fair
'Cause I knew you like the back of my hands
Well, don't you care? I gave you everything, ah
Now I feel you even when you're not there

[Bridge]
Somehow, I don't even know what she does now
Well, do I wish her the best or do I actually miss her?
She had hearts in her eyes
She was rooting for me all the time
Her love, the type
That makes you dedicate your life
Oh, my cheerleader
Thought she needed me, but I need her

[Chorus]
It's not fair
'Cause I knew you like the back of my hands
Well, don't you care? I gave you everything, ah
Now I feel you even when you're not there
Yeah, I feel you even when you're not there
