lyrics
A7 E A E (2x) - (Instrumental) -
A7 E A E (2x)
That fragile state where I found myself a few months ago
I didn't think I'd see your lovely eyes and that warm smile I'm seeing now
F#m A C#m Ab A E
Sometimes we feel so trapped by the weight we place on our own backs
And we can't see ourselves as light.
A7 E A E (2x)
It's like this vicious trap, we blame ourselves for falling down just like everyone else
But I have to admit, it took me years to filter through the things you said
F#m A C#m Ab - F#m A C#m Ab A E
I was conditioned to believe in all the bullshit we project or see
And I can circle all day long. I am abused and the abuser all wrapped in one
It's why I can't take your advice
A7 E A E (repeat as outro) - (Instrumental)
But the things you say affect me and when you say nothing it's worse
