[Verse]
N.C.
I knew I hit rock bottom when the only person who seemed to care was a fast food worker
B
D#m
I rolled up to the drive thru at a quarter to midnight and he asked me how I was
 
I hadn’t been asked that in what felt like eternity so I answered honestly,
B
I said ‘You know, it’s been a rough night’
 
He said ‘Well in that case, you’ve come to the right place’
D#m
And in that moment, as dumb as it sounds, I felt cared about
 
Something that I hadn’t felt in forever
B
I mean sure, I had been fake cared about
D#m
I’ve had empty "How are you’s" asked through gritted teeth
 
Abandoned “I’m here for you’s" placed out of pity
B
But if I disappeared of the grid
 
An eye wouldn’t bat and a grin wouldn’t fade
D#m
But maybe that fast food worker would care with the fries he’d made
B
Maybe he’d wonder why my eyes were so filled with hurt
 
Maybe he’d ask me if I wanted a burger with that shake too
D#m
Maybe he’d ask me that
 
The same way I wished someone would ask me if I wanted a hug with my shitty night in
that drive thru
