[Verse 1]
C#m A
I'm heartsick and well rehearsed
E D#
Highly decorated with a badge that reads "It could be worse"
C#m A
So prideful I choose to live in disguise
E D#
With a levee set for my heavy eyes
[Chorus]
E C#m
I apologize for the grief
A E
When you'd refuse to eat
C#m
I didn't know just what to say
A
While watching you wither away
[Verse 2]
C#m A
I'm homesick and living in the past
E D#
Seemingly unfazed and strong if anyone asks
C#m A
I'm keeping up appereances with white lies
E D#
With a levee set for my heavy eyes
[Chorus]
E C#m
I apologize for the grief
A E
When you'd talk about belief
C#m
I didn't know just what to say
A
While watching you wither away
[Interlude]
E
It was time this whole time
E
We can't undo or rewind
E
Just a simple conversation about nothing much at all
A
Couldn't keep me in the room, I just kept walking down the hall
E
But now I understand just what a fool I'd been
A
No matter what the context, I won't have that time again
(and I live with that)
[Chorus]
E C#m
I took inventory of what I took for granted
A E
And I ended up with more than I imagined
C#m
I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar
A E
Kept for my everchanging mental health
