[Verse 1]
I miss that week in the Dhospital
Too sick to see you but Bmmade sure to call
It spiraled downward from Gthen when I got sick Aagain
I'm overwhelmed by it Dall
If I could Gopen up enough
To Afeel your love
Maybe it'd Gbe more bearable
'Til the Atreatments end
[Chorus]
But don't preDtend that the world has
F#mNever been good to Bmyou
Don't Dsuspend all your plans
When you Fmknow you should follow Gthrough
[Verse 2]
I never pushed the Dlimits
I lived inside them and Bmminded
Didn't dare ask quesGtions
Never swam in the deep Aend
I was afraid to Dtry
Now I feel like a bad Gkid
'Cause no one Adeserves this
So I'll just Gsit here quietly
With my Ahands folded
[Chorus]
But don't preDtend that the world has
F#mNever been good to Bmyou
Don't Dsuspend all your plans
When you F#mknow you should follow Gthrough
DDon't you dare play the victim
When F#myou have the power to Bmchoose
Don't preDtend that the world has F#mnever been good to Gyou

With my hands folded
