Em C G D
[Verso 1]
Em
I might not always say
The right things

I tend to run whenever
I feel change

Sure my hearts a little calloused

And i'm rough around the edges

Life ain't been easy on me
Em D
People come and go
C D
All i've been shown is
Em D
When you love you're left alone
[Refrão]
Em
I know you're not supposed to use
Your past as a crutch
C
I apologize if i've said too much
G
Oh i'm not trying to shut you out
D
Like i've done with everyone else
Em
I'm a little bit of sun
And a whole lotta rain
C
Come with a lotta baggage
From carrying the pain
G
Sometimes i swear i'm not okay
D
But i'm just begging you to stay
Em C G D
Haaaa aa aa

It's the bruises they left me with

You didn't grow up
With the problems that i did

Mom and daddy weren't there
Like they should've been

They left me with a hole in my heart
I can never mend
