[Chorus]
Em C
Girl, I hope you understand
G B
I wanted to hold your hand
Em C G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em C G
And you knew I fell for you but you
B
Just broke my heart in two
Em C
I was sad, mad and broken on my bed
G B
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head
[Verse 1]
Em C
I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med
G B
When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead
Em C
And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat
G B
I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"
Em C
So instead I took my pen and started writing evidencе
G
And when I started making sensе
B
I found that I had reached the end
Em
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
C
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
G B
You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing
B
You're not shit
Em C G B
I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did
Em C G B
I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived
Em C
They were my neighbors, razor blades
G B
And different flavored pills I hate
Em C
Therefore I'm not sure, leave my last straw
G B
I'm so glad, stuck in the past, I said that
[Chorus]
Em C
Girl, I hope you understand
G B
I wanted to hold your hand
Em C G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em C
So far I never held you with my arms
G B
So it's hard to be the one you aren't
Em C
With instead filled with anxiety
G B
Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be
[Verse 2]
Em
Somebody 'cause it's not me
C G
I'm not used to all the talk, it was an introvert
B
That had converted feelings in the writing
Em
Used to cope with all my problems
C
Using notes and lots of rhyming
G
Used to hope for better days whenever
B
That's 'bout make me crying
Em C
I'm not lying when I say that I would rather daily go back
G B
To the times I would try be the guy the people know
Em C
I was fighting with the demons hiding far beyond my eyelids
G B
On an island full of violence in my head that I could pilot
Em C G B
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
Em C G B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
Em C G B
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
Em C G B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
Em C G
Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray
B Em
I feel it coursing through my veins
C G
I said before I'm not okay
B Em
But you don't listen anyway
C G
You know I tried, you turned away
B Em
You straight up lied right to my face
C G
You fucked my life, ruined my day
B
But you don't know, so I'll say
[Interlude]
Em C
Oh
G B Em
You don't know so I'll say
C G B
Ooh oh, oh ooh oh, oh, You don't know so I'll say
[Chorus]
Em C
Girl, I hope you understand
G B
I wanted to hold your hand
Em C G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em C
Too bad I know I can't wake up
G B
Because I lost my weight and you don't give a fuck
Em C G
About me, this could be a dream, I can't see
B
The things that you see, so please, oh
Em C
Girl, I hope you understand
G B
I wanted to hold your hand
Em C G B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
Em C
You know I'll play along you
G B
Were my home I wrote you songs
Em C
And now you're dead to me effectively
G B
Removed yourself outside my dream
Em
