Intro: Gm Bb F Cm F

Verse 1:
  Gm
Don't ask me how I'm doing I'm gonna lie to you
  Bb
I feel the need to please my people it's just what I do
   F
So dry your tears, I always got you, ain't as bad as it seems
  Eb
I can't imagine if I lost you, you mean too much to me
F           Gm
I'm writing paragraphs to beg you not to end it all tonight
        Bb
Cause I know that you would always do the same for me, right?
       F
If the roles are reversed and I was fading away
              Eb                                             F
You'd take my thirteen reasons why and give me a million to stay

Verse 2:
            Gm
What do you mean you can't talk right now? I knew I was a burden.
  Bb
No-one wants to talk to me when I'm really hurtin'
    F
And this is why I lie, why I smile and fake it all
      Eb                                           F
Being broken isn't hot for you, depressions a turn off
           Gm
So turn it on, pretend again, that everything's okay
  Bb
Save the mental breakdown, save the tears, ignore the pain
 F
Wait till you're alone so no-one sees you at your worst
          Eb                                     F
Cause the more you open up, the more it xxxxxx' hurts

Chorus:
    Gm
Oh, nothing that I do for you is every good enough
 Bb
Get out of my head, you ruined everything I loved
F
Can't even go home, the memories might eat me alive
   Eb                      F     G
I’m dying, but I’m trying to survive.
Gm               Bb
I’m trying not to cry.
               F
I’m trying to provide.
               Eb                        Eb       Gm
I’m lying to myself when I say that everything is fine

Verse 3:
Gm
What is self-care if there is no self-love?
Bb
How do I remain selfless as I create more cuts?
F
Why do they stare like I’m a freak in a cage?
 Eb                                             F
Do you really xxxxxxx think, that I enjoy this pain?!?
 Gm
Don’t you know that I loathe it

When you all press your little noses
        Bb
As you kill a little piece of me

Then offer condolences
           F
I think I’m out of my mind and I don’t want you to know
        Eb                                       F
That I cut deep this time, because I want to let go.

Verse 4:
      Gm
‘Hang in there baby’ it sounds so easy and basic.
        Bb
And it's easily said from someone who already made it
        F
I ain’t strong enough to make it through another day
          Eb                                  F
And I’m so xxxxxx’ tired of saying ‘It’ll be okay’
Gm
Prove that xxxx!

Or get out of my face!
                  Bb
‘Cause you don’t know what’s in my head or why I numb my pain away
              F
And you don't care neither, so stop acting like you do
          Eb                                          F
I don't need you to be fake, I just needed someone to talk to

Chorus:
 Gm
Oh, nothing that I do for you is every good enough
 Bb
Get out of my head, you ruined everything I loved
F
Can't even go home, the memories might eat me alive

     Gm                Bb                       F                 Eb
I’ve gotten so used to pretending to be who you need and not who I am
F      Gm
When will I learn my lesson
 Bb                            F                          Eb
These are the confessions of a empath in need of a friend
