[Verso 1]
F
Please
G
Don't ask me
How I've been doing
Am N.C.
'Cause I don't wanna lie to you
F
I've felt like me
G
The last few weeks
Am
But if I start talking
N.C.
I'll think about the shit I've been through
N.C.
Then I'll be knee deep in those
Dm
Feelings I've been
G
Trying so hard to escape
Am G F
But oh god, now it's too late
C
Suddenly I'm right back in it
Am G
Shaking and scared to death
I feel it
C
Pounding up in my chest
One second
Am G
Step back, and I just can't
Hold it together
F
I'm back re-living
Am G
Trying to catch my breath
I miss it
Em F
End up back in my head
Am
My prison, hope I'm not on the edge
G/B G
Like this forever
F
'Cause every time that I remember
G N.C.
It's like I never got better at all
[Verso 2]
N.C. F G
At square one, and it takes months
Am
Until I feel normal
N.C.
And one day if I scroll back too far
N.C.
The photos put me in those
Dm G
Feelings I've been trying so hard to escape
Am G F
But oh god, now it's too late

And suddenly I'm right back in it

Shaking and scared to death
I feel it

Pounding up in my chest
One second

Step back, and I just can't

Hold it together

I'm back re-living

Ten steps backwards without a warning

Crying on the floor

I've been here before

Shaking and scared to death
I feel it

Tryna keep on getting better

It's like I never got better at all
