[Em] [Dm]
[F] [C] I've been trying so hard to survive
[Em] Sometimes [G] I think that I wanna die
[Dm] I feel so fucking guilty
Cause God I'm so [F] lucky to live my life
[C] So I keep all the pain to myself
[G] Losing faith but nobody can tell
[Dm] Mom I don't want you worried
Cause that would just hurt [F] me
So I pretend [Fm] I'm fine
If [C] you only knew
What my mind is telling [G] me I should do
That I'm drunk and all alone [Dm] in my room here tonight
I'm too sad to [F] cry it's true
Oh, if you [C] only knew
All the shame my brain is putting [G] me through
You come running over straight [Dm] to my room here tonight
I'm sorry but I [F] need you
Oh, if you [C] only knew
I wish I was somebody else
I'm [G] constantly overwhelmed
Now [Dm] I'm falling again
Getting drunk with some friends
[F] It's a silent cry for help
I wanna get better
[Am] I want you [G] to know
That I [F] can't do this on [Fm] my own
If you only [C] knew
What my mind is telling me I should [G] do
That I'm drunk and all alone in my [Dm] room here tonight
I'm too sad to cry [F] it's true
Oh, if you only [C] knew
All the shame my brain is putting me [G] through
You come running over straight to my [Dm] room here tonight
I'm sorry but I need [F] you
Take me out of this
[C] Oh, somebody [G] help
Take me out of [Dm] [F] myself
I wanna tell you
What my [D] mind is telling [Em] me I should do
That I'm drunk and all [Dm] alone in my room here tonight
I'm too [C] sad to cry but I want to
