Intro: F Am (4x)
F
To who do you compare me
Am
Recreate to mold me
F
And frozen at no nation
Am
You strip me up
F
The world is soft and wooly
Am
They strip me up to fail me
F
I used to feel protection
Am
From your touch
Bb
And if I am your beloved
Dm C
Then why don't I fit?
Gm
Oh, if I'm your beloved
Bb Dm
Why don't I fit here?
C Gm
We lie together but I feel so alone
Bb Dm
And I give everything I have to you
C
Why is it never enough?

Tell me what you want from me

Cold shots from your embrace
C
Love is a façade for hate

Don't speak, skin creep

It's only faults you see in me

No sweet words to say
