Verse
B A D G
Does it help if I say that I'm sorry?
Bm D G
I know the burning in my blood has made you worry a lot
B E D G
Like the medicine they gave me that hurt me
A G
If you leave when I'm sleeping could you turn the lights off?
Bm D Bm G
My eyes ache if I wake up bathing in fluorescence
Bm D G
It's hard to shake the phosphenes and iridescence
Bm D G
When intravenous makes me feel heavy
Bm F#m D G
As frail as glass, and fading fast, I think that I'm ready to leave
[Chorus]
Bm A G
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
Bm F#m G
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
Bm A G A F#m
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
G
I'm so sick of feeling alone
[Instrumental]
Bm
[Verse 2]
B
But I can't stop thinking about
Bm B
Every time that you'd leave me alone in the house
D
And I'd lay in my bed, suffocating with doubt
Over whether I'd manage to function without
G
Having you there to make sure I take what they gave me
Bm
To kill off the pain that I'm going through daily
A G
In every way that I am strong, I am also weak
For all the words my lungs have birthed
Bm
I struggle to speak
To you about anything
A B
That makes me feel like a burden
[Instrumental]
A G Bm G B A G A F#m A G
[Bridge]
Bm B A G
Does it hurt you if I say I can feel the decay?
Em Bm D G
In a hospital bed I wither away
E B E D G
Behind the curtains I've been crying almost every night
A G
I don't want to ache like this for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
Bm B A G
So give me one good reason to believe I'm getting better
Bm F#m G
My weight keeps fluctuating and I struggle to remember
Bm A G A F#m
The last time I slept through a night without needing to shed my blood
G
I'm so sick of feeling alone
[Outro]
