[Verse]
Fm Cm Gm
Have I been keeping you sick?
Db
Here's me believing a bleeding heart’s just a quick fix
Fm Cm Db
All you needed was me, not my solutions or views
I wish I could take all this pain back I've put you through
Fm Cm Fm
I guess it's too little, too late
E A E
At least I can assure you; I had the best intentions
[Chorus]
Fm Gm E Ab
It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
Db E
Run for your life, go save Yourself
Fm E Db
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
Dbm E
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"
[Verse]
Fm Cm
But through it all, you managed
Db
I left you bruised and battered
Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished
Fm
And you'd think that just for once in my life;
Db
I'd take a step back and maybe consider what's on your mind
Db
But no…
Fm Cm Db
You're the strongest person I know
Fm Am-5
At least I can assure you I'm afraid of my reflection
(No no no…)
[Chorus]
Fm Gm E Ab
It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
Db E
Run for your life, go save Yourself
Fm E Db
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
Dbm |Dbm
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"
[Bridge]
|Fm |Dbm
You're the strongest person I know
|Fm |Dbm
You're the strongest person I know
|Fm |Dbm
You're the strongest person I know
|Fm |Fm |E |Eb |Dm-5
You're the strongest person I know
Fm
I've never been one to express myself so directly, more with imagery and symbolism
Eb Bb
Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms
But just for one moment, I want to be open and honest
Db Bb
If we can't express ourselves directly and be prepared to expect negativity,
Fm
then we'll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities
Bb
To search yourself and come face to face with your demons is terrifying
But if we can't face them, then how do we grow?
Db
How do we recover, or know when we're wrong?
Fm
And yes, it's okay to be wrong
Eb
And I have been wrong, and I am wrong, and I am wrong!
Bb
And this is me, and in all honesty I'm not doing so well right now,
Db
but at least I'm finding the courage to face myself
Fm
Self deprecating? Maybe
Self absorbed? Maybe
Eb
Bravery? Definitely
Db
I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I've caused you
Bb
I just want you to be happy in life
Fm
I'll come and watch from afar, and admire you
and every bit of joy and success that comes your way
Eb Db
I know that this is for the best, but it's been the most difficult choice of my life
Bb Fm
I did this for you, and knowing full well the consequences
Fm Eb
This is me and my acceptance, all I ask is that you remember me as I walk away
