{Verse 1]
Am E
A Am
I haven't forgotten him, but I'll push it down

The pain turns to emptiness after a little while
A Am
My innocence, my need to make him proud
E
It's gone, buried, because
[Chorus]

You've become my favorite distraction
Am
Skinny broken model

This sadness runs so deep that my feet can't reach the bottom (bum bum)
E
bottom - bum bum
[Verse 2]
F#m
I never understood the importance
of an empty conversation
E
but my head gets so loud its
all I want lately
F#m
and you, you're perfect
cause you'll never know me well so I'll
E
keep you around to avoid myself
[Chorus]
F#m
You've become my favorite distraction
Skinny broken model
E A F#m
This sadness runs so deep that my feet can't reach the bottom (bum bum)
You're a pill that I can't swallow
E A
This sadness runs so deep that my feet can't reach the bottom
{Bridge}
F#m
I'll never let someone in again
Am E
the way that I did him
A F#m
everything is safe if it's not under my skin
E
leave it to the past to create present suffering
A F#m
I can't still my mind without remembering
