[Verse]
G Cmaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
G Cmaj7
forming words so easily
G Cmaj7
and i think of the way you think
G Cmaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
G Cmaj7
in that grave i call a bed
G Cmaj7
until you called me up and said
G
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Cmaj7
i need a place to stay
G
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Cmaj7
he promised he would never say
G Cmaj7
that liquid he consumes
G Cmaj7
makes him speak the truth
G Cmaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
G Cmaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
G Cmaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
G Cmaj7
screaming anything he wants
G Cmaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
G Cmaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
G Cmaj7
i remember the way you shook
G
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Cmaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
G Cmaj7
how could i be scared?
G Cmaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
G
so shut your mouth
Cmaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
G
i can feel them in these blankets
Cmaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Cmaj7
embraced in the quilts
G Cmaj7
and i cant help but think
G Cmaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Cmaj7
G Cmaj7
i wake up in the hallway, i'm looking for sunlight
with rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight
G
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Cmaj7 G
to get out of this house
Cmaj7
i cant make them stop
G Cmaj7
i'm just like my mom
G Cmaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
G Cmaj7
you're so precious to us all
G Cmaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
G Cmaj7
i still need you to hold
G Cmaj7
so don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
G Cmaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
