..........
[Verse 1]
D F#m A
I sell my soul to feel alive again Some days, I wish I could pretend
E
So sick of wakin' up in the mornings
D F#m
I find myself prayin' to God again.
A
I don't know if I hear a friend
E
'Cause it's just me, doin' the talkin'
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I'm stuck inside this merry Go round
F#m
Don't know if I wanna get out
A E
What's so wrong with bein' honest?
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I drink too much, I think too much
F#m
I barely like myself enough
A E
I say, "I'm fine", but I hurt inside
D
I fall in love, I **** it up
F#m
Then wonder what the **** it was
A E
It's all a lie, and I'm terrified
[Verse 2]
D F#m
All my days feelin' like weeks again...
A
I find myself spirallin'.
E
With every turn, I lose a piece of my heart

I'm stuck inside this merry Go round

Don't know if I wanna get out

What's so wrong with bein' honest?

And I'm on my knees, surrounded...

Just underneath, I'm drownin'.
