G    C              Em          C            G
Do I love you or am I just too afraid to leave?

     C               Em         C            G
Am I being honest or am I being what you need?

         C                 Em                      C          G
Is there something waiting out there for us at the finish line?

      C             Em                C
Can I have a second just to recollect my mind?
[Pre-Chorus]

But it was your ugly mug

I can go back to being—

[Verse 2]
G     C               Em              C
Is it worth it in the end if I'm this far from home?

G     C               Em               C
Is it worth it in the end if I'm still this alone?

G       C                 Em              C
I don't know if there's a way to practice empathy

G       C               Em           C
Without letting all the dеmons in to talk to me
