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