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