C
Do you ever like breaking down?
Am
Do you ever feel out of place?
C
Like somehow you just don't belong,
G
and no one understands you.
C
Do you ever wanna run away?
Am
Do you lock yourself in your room?
C
With the radio on turned up so loud,
G
and no one hears you screaming.

When nothing feels alright

Am
Are you sick of being so left out?
C
Are you desperate to find something more,
G
before your life is over?
C
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Am
Are you sick of everyone around?

With the big fake smiles and stupid lies,

While deep inside your bleeding
