[Verse]
Em D Bm
I think I hate myself again
C
For a second I believe the lies I said
Em D Bm
Mixing spirits with the meds
C
Cuz in the chemicals is where I find myself
[PreChorus]
C
I can't escape this
D
Nowhere left to run
Bm
I should embrace it
G F#m
And live forever numb
C D
Cuz in my brain I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
[Chorus]
Em C
This is not another party song
G
Just someone barely holding on
Am I that complicated
Bm
Happiness is overrated
Em C
Why do I break everything I touch
G
So low I need a pick me up
I'd rather be sedated
Bm
Happiness is overrated
[Verse]

I guess I'll burn another bridge
C
At least it's easier than paying for the sins
Em D Bm
Hidden underneath my skin
C
All the memories I wish I could unlive
[PreChorus]
C
I can't escape this
D
Nowhere left to run
Bm
I should embrace it
G F#m
And live forever numb
C D
Cuz in my brain I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
[Chorus]
Em C
This is not another party song
G
Just someone barely holding on
Am I that complicated

Why do I break everything I touch
