[Intro]
C Am Em G C Am Em G
C Am Em D C Am Em
[Verse 1]
I've been aCway, a little while, someAmtimes I just can't help myself
When my Emmind’s running wild, I seem to Glose grip on reality
And I Ctry to disregard the crazy Amthings the voices tell me to Emdo, but it's no Duse
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 CI tried to own itAm, write songs about it
 EmBelieve me I tried, in the Gend I needed to breathe
 CFind inspirationAm, some kind of purpose
 EmTo take a second to faDce the shit that makes me, me
[Chorus]
 CAll I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
 EmTo sit alone in a roDom and say it all out loud
 CEvery moment, every Amsecond, every trespass
 EmEvery awful thing, every broken dream
 CA couple years back and Amforth with myself in a cEmage
Banging my head against the wDall tryna put words on a pCage
All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
 EmTo be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
I saw the Cworld a couple times, tried to Amcure the ache with absence
But that Emhole was still a hole and my Gmind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling Colder every day, took everyAmthing I had to not crash and buEmrn
But I'm starting to leaD6rn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 CSometimes I'll fall downAm, sometimes I'll lose hope
 EmBut those days will be fGew if I keep my feet on the groCund
I might be lonelyAm, but I ain't alone here
 EmSo I keep pushing the liDmits of what makes me
[Chorus]
 CAll I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
 EmTo sit alone in a roDom and say it all out loud
 CEvery moment, every Amsecond, every trespass
 EmEvery awful thing, every broken dream
 CA couple years back and Amforth with myself in a cEmage
Banging my head against the wDall tryna put words on a pCage
All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
 EmTo be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Post-Chorus]
(AEmlone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
(AEmlone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone)
(Em'lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone)
