[Chorus]
C       Em
 I feel like I'm at a standstill

D            Bm7
 Waiting for you to tell me I'm okay

C               Em
 If time heals, tell me why do I kill

 Myself tryna show you I'm not a mistake?

C              Em
 I've got qualities that I'm not proud of

 I've made promises that I walked out on

 Into what I've been through

You think I'm mental but it pays off though

         D
When the rent's due, I pursue what I love

       Bm7
And if it goes south and falls down, just know

C
 I stand on my own two feet

      Em
Don't you see, those that oppose on me?

     G
Most won't leave, thinking I might retreat

         D
Show 'em my teeth quick if you turn on me 'cause

When you let it get to the place of
C                                        Em
