         F               Am
As these judging eyes surround me

           C           G
In silence tearing me apart

     F             Am
Only seeing to the surface

       C              G
They refuse to see my heart

        F                   Am
In this mold that they have made me

         C              G
Tried so hard to fit in tight

      F             Am
Every day's a punishment

          C                   G
For being human but the wrong kind

          F             Am
All their heavy words I carry

       C                  G
Try to grind them down to dust

        F              Am
But the pile's getting so deep

       C                    G
Pretty soon it's gonna bury us

          F                Am
I see two paths that sit before me

      C                G
The decision's mine to make

     F                 Am
Do I wear the mask and follow

           C              G
Or pay the price of bеing brave?
[Chorus]
      F             C
These wounds arеn't healing

    G              Am
And I am scared to death

          F             C
That I'll look into the mirror

      G                        Am
And believe the things they've said

F                          C
No, I wasn't ready for the shame so heavy

      G                     Gadd11
Maybe they will never understand

           F                C
Can't keep facing this fire, I'm so damn tired

G
 Of being who I am
[Verse 2]
           F              Am
No need to say that I'm immoral

           C             G
No need to tell me I'm a freak

                 F                     Am
Don't waste your breath, you made that more than clear

       C               G
In the way you look at me

         F                Am
The only choices that you give me

              C             G
Two different ways I can be killed

        F              Am
Hate my life for being fake

          C              G
Or hate myself for being real
[Chorus]
      F             C
These wounds arеn't healing

    G              Am
And I am scared to death

          F             C
That I'll look into the mirror

      G                        Am
And believe the things they've said

F                          C
No, I wasn't ready for the shame so heavy

      G                     Gadd11
Maybe they will never understand

           F                C
Can't keep facing this fire, I'm so damn tired

G
 (Of being who I am)
[Bridge]
      F                Am
Every day I wanna die, but nobody helps

       C                        G
'Cause they're too busy praying I'll be someone else

      F                        Am
Every day is full of pain that they have never felt

    C                        Am
But they're too busy praying I'll be someone else
[Chorus]
      F             C
These wounds arеn't healing

    G              Am
And I am scared to death

          F             C
That I'll look into the mirror

      G                        Am    Em
And believe the things they've said

F                          C
No, I wasn't ready for the shame so heavy

      G                     Gadd11
Maybe they will never understand

           F                C
Can't keep facing this fire, I'm so damn tired

G
 Of being who I am
