[Verse]
  F#There's nowhere left where I belong
Unless you count insBide your arms
We're so tBragically divided
Like an ocean that's colF#liding
And we both know where the piF#eces fall
Your sunken face has sBaid it all
Now I'm finally feeling wBanted
Like a streetcar named desBire
And I'm sBick of feeling all of this
Cause I dBon't know where my head is
I'm tBwisted up in all of this
I'm sick of feeling F#all

I'm sick of feeling all
