[Verse 1]
BbI may not Dbact like I'm torn apaBbrt
But blood don't loDbok deep red
When the dAbmark FmsurrounGbmds me
BbI may be frDbozen down from the fBbight
The pain belDbongs to me
But your lAbmove FmsurrounGbmds me
SurrounBbds me, Dbsurrounds me
[Chorus]
I don't feel huBbnger, I don't need Gbmair
There's blood in my veiDbns cause I know you are thAbmere
I don't need shelBbter, nothing at Gbmall
The reason I'm heDbre
Don't you know that you're aAbmll
My basic neBbeds
[Verse 2]
BbI may be crDbippled by my own miBbnd
Your silence huDbnts my head
And they Abmal-   Fways fGbmind me
BbI may be uDbsed to feeling this wBbay
Almost forgDbot remembering Abmtoo
FReminGbmd me, remiBbnd me, remDbind me
[Chorus]
I don't feel huBbnger, I don't need Gbmair
