[Verse]
B Emaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
B Emaj7
forming words so easily
B Emaj7
and i think of the way you think
B Emaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
B Emaj7
in that grave i call a bed
B Emaj7
until you called me up and said
B
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Emaj7
i need a place to stay
B
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Emaj7
he promised he would never say
B Emaj7
that liquid he consumes
B Emaj7
makes him speak the truth
B Emaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
B Emaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
B Emaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
B Emaj7
screaming anything he wants
B Emaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
B Emaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
B Emaj7
i remember the way you shook
B
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Emaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
B Emaj7
how could i be scared?
B Emaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
B
so shut your mouth
Emaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
B
i can feel them in these blankets
Emaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Emaj7
embraced in the quilts
B Emaj7
and i cant help but think
B Emaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Emaj7
B Emaj7
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
B
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Emaj7 B
to get out of this house
Emaj7
i cant make them stop
B Emaj7
i'm just like my mom
B Emaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
B Emaj7
you're so precious to us all
B Emaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
B Emaj7
i still need you to hold
B Emaj7
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,
B Emaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
