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

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