Grow spokesmen of gray
[Verse 1]
D
She loved him so and he left
A
He said he wished her to die
Bm
And she cried; closer, still
F#m Em
To whatever may come of heartbreak
[Verse 2]
D
Then she found herself sea sick, lost in an ocean
A
Without her pharmacy fisherman
Bm
And she found it was too hard to stand up on her own
F#m Em
And she wished, she wished, she wished she could die
[Breakdown]
Em G
Never mind
Em
The growing weight
G
In what she can't stomach
G G Bm A x4
[Verse 3]
G Bm A G
Left in the womb all alone, she lost that baby on her own
Bm A G
She just laid still
Bm A G
Left in the womb all alone, she lost that baby on her own
Bm A
She became still
[Verse 4]
G Bm
After that she never felt right
A G
She just laid still
G Bm
Never told anyone about the child
A G
She just stayed still
[Verse 5]
G
She told me
Bm D A Asus4
And I cried, still
G
And I died
Bm D Dsus4
I died a small bit, I died
[Verse 6]
G Bm
And now I think of it all the time
D A Asus4 G Bm D Dsus4
Would it be better, would it be nicer than me
G Bm D
I hope that I'm not right, I can't face that kind of life
G Bm D
Shadowed by someone never alive
[Verse 7]
G
But how could she love me
Bm D
After her heart was broken in two
G
How could she be proud
Bm D
After her heart was taken from her
[Breakdown]
D Em
I wonder about my sibling
A G D Em
If heaven has a place for her
A G
But god you work so strangely
D Em
You take smiles so quickly
A G
So quietly
[Bridge]
D
A blade can cut so quickly
Bm
But my legs won't die so quietly
G
I don't want to keep going
G
I've got to keep going
G
I've got to keep going
G
I've got to keep going

If not for my mother

Then for the one we've lost

If not for my mother

Then for the one we've lost

If not for my mother

Then for the one we've lost

If not for my mother

Then for the one we've lost

Still, a better world

A nicer world

How can I redeem myself

For my failure

I'll never know her

She was never here
D
I am failing
Bm
To live on for myself
G
I'm sorry
Bm
I love you
D
I'm sorry
Bm
I didn't say it enough
G
You could've asked
Gmaj7 Bm
Why I am alive
D
Why, why, why am I alive?
G
Why am I alive?
D
Why am I alive?
