Tom: Am
C
I love to sleep, cause I pretend that I'm dead,
E
But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
Am F G
That I've lost all control of this life that I've held so dear.
C
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
E
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
Am F G
Hoping that the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
Am
Well, I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
F
I tried to force a smile, but they said it was ugly,
C G
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
Am
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
F
And I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
C G
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.
[Chorus]
C
Well, I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
E
And I don't make a sound but my eyes scream out help,
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F G
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
Am
That I'm more than depressed, and their time won't be wasted,
F G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
[Verse]
Am
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
F
And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as fuck.
C
So I sit on the floor as I gather my thoughts,
G
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
Am
Well, I lost control when I was only a boy,
F
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
C
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breathe,
G C
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.
[Chorus]
C
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
E
And I don't make a sound but my eyes scream out help,
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F G
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
Am
That I'm more than depressed, and their time won't be wasted,
F G C
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
