[Verse 1]
BbmExcuse me while I kiss the sky
DbSing a song of sixpence, pFmocket full of lies
GbThinking I'm okay, but they're saying otherwise
EbTell me how I look but can't lFmook me in the eyes
BbmWatching as I say this and then I do that
TDbelling them the old words but in a nFmew rap
GbThen I change my mind up and make them lose track
Shit I'm inconsistent I tBbmhought they knew that
[Pre-Chorus]
EbMaybe I should be more grateful
That I had to waGbtch it all come undone
AbHolding so tBbmight to the edge is painful
But I can't Dbignore it I know
[Chorus]
They're watching as I Bbmfall, they're staring as I gDbo
I gave until my soul hGburt, and never told them Ebmso
They're watching aFms I fBbmall, to somewhere down bDbelow
But maybe I'm just faGblling, to get somewhere they wEbmon't, to gGbet some ha
[Verse 2]
BbmExcuse me while I sympDbathize
Singing with the fat lady tell me what's the Fmtime
GbYou know what it is not afraid to cross the line
Nothing is forever don't be Bbmmad at the design
Ask me if I can, I sDbay I don't know
And honestly I buy that I can sFmound cold
GbStill upset from shit that's 15 years old
I doGbn't know what it takes to Bbmmake me let go

And honestly I buy that I can sound cold

Still upset from shit that's 15 years old
