[Intro]
C     Em C
[Verse]
CMy fingers broke holding the rope that Emtied me to the past
I choked oCn every simple Gsyllable I'd Emstitched into my teeth
CSince the bones reset I guess I tEmhink about you less
Unless I'm Cdrinking or upset, but hEmonestly that doesn't happen Cfrequently
FI'm not even sure why I'm still calling you up
When I know Gthat your phone's been discEmonnected for months
I Cguess it's Fhard to break a habit that reminds you of love
I just needGed you to know that I Emdon't miss you at allC  Em  E  Em  C  Em  
CAnd needlework would never hurt, I Emembellished all Ethat I Emwas worth
With Cwords so passionately birthed by loEmvers losing hope
[Chorus]
But Fin the end I hated all the metaphors we made
Every sickGly sentiment that I had Emsewn into my skin
I'm Flearning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
That Geven love is ruthless
EmBut I survived no thanks to you
But Fin the end I hated all the metaphors we made
Every sickGly sentiment that I had Emsewn into my skin
I'm Flearning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof
That Geven love is ruthless
EmBut I survived no thanks to you

[Verse]

C Em

My fingers broke holding the rope that tied me to the past

C G Em

I choked on every simple syllable I'd stitched into my teeth

C Em

Since the bones reset I guess I think about you less

C Em C

Unless I'm drinking or upset, but honestly that doesn't happen frequently

I'm not even sure why I'm still calling you up

G Em

When I know that your phone's been disconnected for months

C F

I guess it's hard to break a habit that reminds you of love

G Em C Em E Em C Em

I just needed you to know that I don't miss you at all

C Em E Em

And needlework would never hurt, I embellished all that I was worth

C Em

With words so passionately birthed by lovers losing hope

[Chorus]

But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made

G Em

Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin

I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof

That even love is ruthless

But I survived no thanks to you

But in the end I hated all the metaphors we made

G Em

Every sickly sentiment that I had sewn into my skin

I'm learning to remove your every suture, every wound is proof

That even love is ruthless

But I survived no thanks to you

[Outro]
