Verse:
F
He's what I want
Cadd9
But I'm not what he needs

He needs to wake up

And look in the mirror
Cadd9
And like just what he sees

And it kills me

That I have to leave

To watch him go get better

Cuz I'd set myself on fire

I love him

That's why I'll let him go
Dm
I love him
G
And I want him
C C F
But we both need time to grow
G
And if the world was kind
C F
I could make him stay

It pains me to think of the girl
C C F
Who gets to trace his veins
F
I love him
Fm F Cadd9
But it's better off this way

I'd stand by them until I die
