[Verse 1]

Am C G

Growing distance from your explanations,

we're getting deeper in this mess.

C G

Take careful contemplation,

Am C G

I'd rather be spitting blood

Am C G

than have this silence fuck me up.

[Verse 2]

Am C G

This separation, time and space between us

for some revelation.

C G

You didn't even care to discuss,

Am C G

I'd rather be black and blue

Am C G

than accept that you withdrew.

[Verse 3]

Am C G

Just to give each other the world, every bit

Used to be the one you'd come to

C G

when it'd all go to shit.

Am C G

Now I'm left here in the dust,

Am C G

with the taste of broken trust.

[Verse 4]

And I don't wanna walk away

C G

but you left me no choice,

only talking to myself here,

C G

now you muffled your voice.

Am C G

I'd rather have broken bones

Am C G

and feel myself turn to stone.

[Chorus]

F Am G F Am

Ah ah, just tell me,

anything hurts less than the quiet.
