[Ab] As these judging eyes [C] surround me
[Eb] In silence tearing me [Bb] apart
[Ab] Only seeing to [C] the surface
[Eb] They refuse to see [Bb] my heart
[Ab] In this mold that they [C] have made me
[Eb] Tried so hard to fit [Bb] in tight
[Ab] Every day's a [C] punishment
For [Eb] being human but the [Bb] wrong kind
[Ab] All their heavy [Cm] words I carry
[Eb] Try to grind them down [Bb] to dust
[Ab] But the pile's getting [Cm] so deep
[Eb] Pretty soon it's gonna [Bb] bury us
I [Ab] see two paths that sit [Cm] before me
[Eb] The decisions mine [Bb] to make
Do I wear the [Cm] mask and follow
[Eb] Or pay the price of being [Bb] brave?
[Ab] These wounds [Eb] are healing
[Bb] And I am [Cm] scared to death
[Ab] They don't look into [Eb] the mirror
[Bb] And believe the [C] things they've said
[Ab] Oh I wasn't [Eb] ready for the shame so [Bb] heavy
Maybe they will never understand
[Ab] Can't keep facing this [Eb] fire
I'm so damn [Bb] tired
Of being who I am
[Ab] No need to say that [Cm] I'm immoral
[Eb] No need to tell me [Bb] I'm a freak
[Ab] Don't waste your breath
You made [Cm] that more than clear
[Eb] In the way you look [Bb] at me
The [Ab] only [Cm] choice is that you give me
[Eb] Two different ways I [Bb] can be killed
[Ab] Hate my [Cm] life for being fake
[Eb] Or hate myself for [Bb] being real
[Ab] These wounds [Eb] are healing
[Bb] And I am [Cm] scared to death
[Ab] They don't look into [Eb] the mirror
[Bb] And believe the [Cm] things they've said
[Ab] Oh I wasn't [Eb] ready for the shame so heavy
Maybe [Bb] they will never understand
[Ab] Can't keep facing this [Eb] fire
I'm so damn [Bb] tired
Every [Eb] [Ab] day I wanna [Cm] die
But nobody [Eb] helps
Cause they're too busy [Bb] praying I'll be someone [Ab] else
Every day is full of [Cm] pain that they have never [Eb] felt
But they're too busy [Bb] praying I'll be someone [Ab] else
These wounds are [Eb] healing
[Bb] And I am [Cm] scared to death
They [Ab] don't look into the [Eb] mirror
[Bb] And believe the [C] things they've [Gm] said
[Ab] Oh I [Eb] wasn't ready for the shame so [Bb] heavy
Maybe they will never understand
[Eb] Can't keep facing this fire
I'm so damn tired
[Bb] [C] Being who I am
