[Verse 1]
BmShe says she wants to end it all when she's aGll alone in her room
She criesD  
The way she feels insAide is too much for her
BmWhen all you got is these four walls
It's nGot that hard to feel so smDall
Or even exist at aAll
GHow come no one heard her when she saAid
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm better off dBmead
If I was would it finGally be enough
To shDut out all those voices in my heAad?
Maybe I'm better off dBmead
Better off deGad!
Did you heDar a word
AHear a word I saBmid?
This is nGot where I beloAng
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gBmone
[Verse 2]
BmShe doesn't know she's beautiful
Because Gno one's ever told her soD  
And the demons that she hAas is all she knows
BmAnd maybe she can fall in love with somGeone in her life that she could trDust
And tell her she's enoAugh (Have someone tell her she's enough?)
GHow come no one heard her when she sAaid
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm better off deBmad
If I was would it finGally be enough
To shDut out all those voices in my heAad?
