Verse one: 
AFeels like my nerF#mves are all exEposed
AJust like I'm nakF#med you can see Estraight through my clothes
I'm so hoDllow that I'm eEmpty  and F#myou can all Etell
DI'm so raw I'm nauseous and I Edon't feel so well
CHORUS:
And I don't wAanna go outside toEday
I wDanna stay here in bed, and just drEeam my life away
Cos in my drDeams I can fEly, can't seem to cF#mrawl in real lEife
I'm so far from peDrfect and I dEon't want you to kAnow.
Verse two: 
I feel like I'm a walking wreck,  
The hands of anxiousness, tighten round my neck
I'm such a failure I can't breathe, and that's supposed to come naturally, 
I'm blinded by the darker side of me
CHORUS
BRIDGE: 
C#mI wear a mF#mask that says I'm coDnfident and stErong, 
C#mbut if you sF#mcratch the surface, you'll fDind I don't beElong!
