Memories consume like opening the wounds

C G Dsus2

I'm picking me apart again

Em C G

You all assume

Dsus2 Em

I'm safe here in my room

C G D

Unless I try to start again

Em C G D

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose

Em C G D

Cuz inside I realize that I'm the one confused

Em C

I don't know what's worth fighting for

G D

Or why I have to scream...

Em C

I don't know why I instigate

G D

And say what I don't mean...

Em C

I don't know how I got this way

G D

I know it's not all right...

C D

So I'm breaking the habit

C D Em

I'm breaking the habit tonight

Em C G

Clutching my cure

Dsus2 Em

I tightly lock the door

C G Dsus2

I try to catch my breath again

Em C G Dsus2 Em

I hurt much more than any time before

C G D

I have no options left again

Em C G D

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose

Em C G D

Cuz inside I realize that I'm the one confused

Em C

I don't know what's worth fighting for

G D

Or why I have to scream...

Em C

I don't know why I instigate

G D

And say what I don't mean...

Em C

I don't know how I got this way

G D

I'll never be alright...

C D

So I'm breaking the habit

C D Em

I'm breaking the habit tonight

Em D

I'll paint it on the walls

Em D

Cuz I'm the one that falls

Em D

I'll never fight again

Em D

and this is how it ends...

Em C

I don't know what's worth fighting for

G D

Or why I have to scream...

Em C G D

But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean...

Em C

I don't know how I got this way

G D

I'll never be alright...

C D

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit
