[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 A6sus4
Built a fortress trading memories for always feeling empty
Bm7
Lost purpose running from my pain
Gmaj7 A6sus4
I made a prison shining trauma and never found Nirvana
Bm7
Sold cyanide for novacaine
[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7 A6sus4
I've learned that there is no healing in not feeling anything
Bm7
I'm just a cage of skin that threw away the key
Gmaj7 A6sus4
To fall apart right now that'd feel like ecstasy but
Bm7
These walls weren't built to break
[Chorus]
Bm7
I really wish that I could cry right now
Gadd9
I really wish that I could let this out
D
Million thoughts in my head and they all want me dead
A
I'm too good at holding them down
Bm7
I really wish that I could cry right now
Gadd9
But I'm afraid that I've forgotten how
D
Being numb's how I cope with the hell that I've known
A
But the silence is making me drown
Gmaj7
I really wish that I could cry
A6sus4 Bm7
I really wish that I could cry
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 A6sus4
I've had to wear a thousand faces, be fake to just replace this
Bm7
Panic that my past holds tight
Gmaj7 A6sus4
Now every feeling's lost it's flavor 'cause I feel so much safer
Bm7
As frozen than in fight or flight
[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7 A6sus4
I've learned that I'd rather suffer, I would rather agonize
Bm7
Than lose the little things just for the alibi
Gmaj7 A6sus4
That taste of tender love is worth a sacrifice
Bm7
I'm living not alive
[Chorus]
Bm7
I really wish that I could cry right now
Gadd9
I really wish that I could let this out
D
Million thoughts in my head and they all want me dead
A
I'm too good at holding them down
Bm7
I really wish that I could cry right now
Gadd9
But I'm afraid that I've forgotten how
D
Being numb's how I cope with the hell that I've known
A
But the silence is making me drown
[Bridge]
Bm7 Gadd9
My life is full of love but I'm empty
D D
'Cause I've been so afraid of remembering
Bm7 Gadd9
I just want to break down, I'm ready
D A
So let me please
[Chorus]
B5
I really wish that I could cry right now
G5
I really wish that I could let this out (Let this out)
D5
Million thoughts in my head and they all want me dead
A5
I'm too good at holding them down
B5
I really wish that I could cry right now (Cry right now)
G5
But I'm afraid that I've forgotten how (Forgotten how)
D5
Being numb's how I cope with the hell that I've known
A
But the silence is making me drown
N.C.
I really wish that I could cry
