[Verse 1]
I was Fwrong to say I Cloved her
I was Amwrong to think I'm Gright
But when I Ftold her it was Cover
My Gdarling, I had lied
I've been Frunning from my Cdemons
AAmfraid to look bGehind
I've been Frunning from myCself
Afraid of what I'd Gfind
[Chorus 1]
But how am I supposed to loFve you
When I don't love who I Amam
And how can I give you Call of me
When I'm only half a Gman
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's Fburning
So let go of my Amhand
And how can I give you Call of me
When I'm only half a Gman
[Verse 2]
And now FI'm stuck in this Chotel room
By Amcold neon Glight
I've been Fwaiting for an Canswer
But it Gdon't come tonight
And every Fbottle I had Cstolen
It laid Amshattered on the Gfloor
What's Fbroken can't be Cwhole, Ganymore

But how am I suppoFsed to love you
When I don't love who I Amam
And how can I give you Call of me
When I'm only half a Gman
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's Fburning
So let go of my Amhand
And how can I give you Call of me
When I'm only half a Gman

[Intro]

F C Am G

F C G

[Verse 1]

F C

I was wrong to say I loved her

Am G

I was wrong to think I'm right

F C

But when I told her it was over

My darling, I had lied

F C

I've been running from my demons

Am G

Afraid to look behind

F C

I've been running from myself

Afraid of what I'd find

[Chorus 1]

But how am I supposed to love you

When I don't love who I am

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning

So let go of my hand

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

[Verse 2]

F C

And now I'm stuck in this hotel room

Am G

By cold neon light

F C

I've been waiting for an answer

But it don't come tonight

F C

And every bottle I had stolen

Am G

It laid shattered on the floor

F C G

What's broken can't be whole, anymore

[Chorus 2]

But how am I supposed to love you

When I don't love who I am

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning

So let go of my hand

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

[Bridge]

Dm Am C G

No one can ever hurt me

Dm Am

Like I hurt myself

C G

I'm made out of stone

Dm Am

And I'm beyond help

C G F C G

So don't give your heart to me

[Chorus 3]

But how am I supposed to love you

When I don't love who I am

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning

So let go of my hand

And how can I give you all of me

When I'm only half a man

[Outro]
