C Fmaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
C Fmaj7
forming words so easily
C Fmaj7
and i think of the way you think
C Fmaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
C Fmaj7
in that grave i call a bed
C Fmaj7
until you called me up and said
C
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Fmaj7
i need a place to stay
C
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Fmaj7
he promised he would never say
C Fmaj7
that liquid he consumes
C Fmaj7
makes him speak the truth
C Fmaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
C Fmaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
C Fmaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
C Fmaj7
screaming anything he wants
C Fmaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
C Fmaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
C Fmaj7
i remember the way you shook
C
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Fmaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
C Fmaj7
how could i be scared?
C Fmaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
C
so shut your mouth
Fmaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
C
i can feel them in these blankets
Fmaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Fmaj7
embraced in the quilts
C Fmaj7
and i cant help but think
C Fmaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Fmaj7
C Fmaj7
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
C
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Fmaj7 C
to get out of this house
Fmaj7
i cant make them stop
C Fmaj7
i'm just like my mom
C Fmaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
C Fmaj7
you're so precious to us all
C Fmaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
C Fmaj7
i still need you to hold
C Fmaj7
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,
C Fmaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
