[Intro]

F Bb

[Verse 1]

I was lost, felt nothing at all but

Bb F

I'm coming back now, yeah, I'm in the background

No need to react now that everything's done (But let me say)

I thought it would be simple enough

And I had to grow up

Just to learn all the ways that it's not

F Bb

But I never thought that I'd wanna call it quits in my whole life

F Bb

I never aimed to feel confused, I blame myself to tell the truth

But now I know that everything's hard when you're living in the dark

And you don't even wanna see it through

If that had to be the way I'd be feeling for days

And I knew it back then, I probably wouldn't do it

[Chorus]

F Bb

But I never got the chance to tell you

I never had the balls to tell you

No, I never had the balls to tell you

[Verse 2]

F Bb

I did everything that I could, but still, I was helpless (So helpless)

I shouldn't waste my precious time

On anybody living off of mine

And now I know that things are getting better

I could live like this forever

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I found my own way out

Was to open my mouth and be honest

I had to go and do it, yeah

[Bridge]

Only being polite, I'd be giving in

I'm never gonna do it
