2nd capo.
C, E, Am, G, F
I never knew I was addicted to anything
Until I felt the steel against my fingertips
And the callouses grew and made me only want more.
I've been playing this guitar for years
And I've never been more scared of anything else
Besides never being able to play again.
I never thought I'd fall in love again
Until I dealt with you face to face
And my feelings grew and only made me realize that I can't live without you
In my life
And I've been avoiding these feelings for weeks
And I've never been more scared of anything else
Besides never kissing your face again.
Am, E, G, F
But fuck, what did I do wrong?
How can I fix this all along?
I didn't mean to end things
But now I barely play these strings
And j feel miserable at worst
And I can't fix that again.
Please understand that I grew an addiction that was healthy
And I threw it all away
Because my passions didn't make money
And I just couldn't stay
In this town for any longer
Because my fears only grew larger
And I became nothing but insecure.
C, E, Am, F
I guess we want what we can't have
And now all I want is to play music again.
Am, G, C, G, F
And I hope you hear this one day
And I hope you'll be my girlfriend again
But I guess you're done with me and all of my shit
And I just have to get over it.
So I'll write more songs that I'll probably regret
Because the last time I realized that I had a muse
For playing these things was when I was around you.
But fuck, what did I do wrong?
How can I fix this all along?
I didn't mean to end things
But now I barely play these strings
And j feel miserable at worst
And I can't fix that again.

Well maybe this wouldn’t hurt so bad,
If I just knew it wouldn’t last forever.
If I knew that somehow I’d be okay,
Or somehow we’d be back together.
But I hate how pain is permanent,
Because even though I loved you,
Nothing could really make us see through tomorrow.
We worry so much about the now,
We worry so much about then.
But we can’t think forward
We can’t think towards the end.
Break my heart once, shame on you,
Break it twice, shame on me,
Break it a third time, I’ll do the same.
Stab my back once, shame on you,
Stab it twice, shame on me,
But I won’t hold a knife against your spine.
I’ve battled these demons a few times before,
But they never seem to leave me alone.
They always come back to haunt me,
Because I continuously fall for their traps.
Don’t fall in love with your best friends,
Because it’ll be hard to be friends in the end.
And I’m only scared of being alone,
Because I’m only scared of it lasting until death.
And I’m far too scared to fall in love,
So I stay stuck in love with you.
But misery loves company,
So I can’t promise my friendship is true.
I hate that you’re okay.
I hate that you’re okay.
But all I want for you, is to be just fine.
And I hate that you’re okay,
I hate that you’re okay.
But I don’t want to feel like dying.
Anymore.

well we were drinking
In the Basement
With all my best friends So we Can fit in
Well we got bottles
And we got cans
And we got poetry that is written on our unwashed hands
Well I have heart
it was riddled with holes
We're riddled with youth
We're riddled with gold
But you were always so affraid of losing everything you love
And i was nothing more than highschools
saying i dont give a fuck
I crash my car
into your house
The flames were spreading fast
And I was way to weak to move
This was way to good to last
So we won't last
The flames are spreading way too fast
So we won't last
Well i've been listening to songs
And all i wanna do is write
And we were drinking on the sidewalk
almost every single night
And i got scared I missed your call
I was sleeping in the park
but when the message finally sent
I couldn't read it in the dark
I crash my car into your house
The flames were spreading fast
And I was way to weak to move
This was way to good to last
So we won't last
The flames are spreading way too fast
So we won't last
Well i am sorry That i am not the same kid I was back in school But i have finally changed It took a long long time And i lost most my friends But i am never coming back And i am sorry That i am not the same kid I was back in school But i have finally changed It took a long long time And i lost most my friends But i am never coming back ... yeah
