[Chorus]
 Em
Girl, I hope you understand

 C
I wanted to hold your hand

            G                               B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then

   Em                              C
And you knew I fell for you but you
Just broke my heart in two
       G
I was sad, mad and broken on my bed

 B
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head
[Verse 1]
       Em
I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med

            C
When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead

            G
And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat

            B
I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"

      Em
So instead I took my pen and started writing evidencе

             C
And when I started making sensе
I found that I had reached the end
          G
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
               B
You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing
You're not shit
    Em                               C
I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did

          G                                B
I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived

              Em
They were my neighbors, razor blades

                C
And different flavored pills I hit

              G
Therefore I'm at surely my last straw

        B
I'm so gassed, stuck in the past, I said that
[Chorus]
 Em
Girl, I hope you understand

 C
I wanted to hold your hand

       G                                    B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then

Em
So far I never held you with my arms

C
So it's hard to be the one you aren't

G
With instead filled with anxiety

B
Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be
[Verse 2]
Em
Somebody 'cause it's not me

                                         C
I'm not used to all the talk, it was an introvert
That had converted feelings in the writing
        G
Used to cope with all my problems
Using notes and lots of rhyming
         B
Used to hope for better days whenever
nights would have me crying
         Em
I'm not lying when I say that I would rather die than go back

C
To the times I would try be the guy the people know

       G
I was fighting with the demons hiding far beyond my eyelids

       B
On an island full of violence in my head I had two pilots

Em                                       C
Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray

                               G
I feel it coursing through my veins

                       B
I said before I'm not okay

                        Em
But you don't listen anyway

                               C
You know I tried, you turned away

                 B                G
You straight up lied right to my face

                                B
You fucked my life, ruined my day
But you don't know, so I'll say [Bridge]
Em                            C
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know so I'll say)
G                          B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say)
Em                            C
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know so I'll say)
G                          B
Nobody cares, you lied, it's not fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say) [Chorus]
 Em
Girl, I hope you understand

 C
I wanted to hold your hand

        G                                   B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then

Em
Too bad I know I can't wake up

           C
Because I lost my way and you don't give a fuck

       G                                   B
About me, this could be a dream, I can't see
The things that you see, so please, oh
 Em
Girl, I hope you understand

 C
I wanted to hold your hand

       G                                    B
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then

Em
You had known and played along, you

C
Were my home, I wrote you songs

            G
Now you're dead to me, effectively

   B
Removed yourself outside my dreams
Em
