[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][Bm][B][D][C]

[Verse 1]
I tried to be [B]someone,
[C]scorched feathers upo[B]n the sun.
[C]I tried to preten[B]d this here wor[C]ld was
not [B]painful or real at all.
[A][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]
I tried [B]to be like you,
hide away from the cold harsh truth.
Cracked reflections of the hero
& the heroine I once knew.

[Verse 3]
I know [B]it's hard, I know it's real.
But now I have become someone
that you could never [Em]heal.
And [C]I tried like you [D]never,
you left me to teach [Em]myself.
And I [C]cried & swallowed my [D]tears,
salty ex[B]hausted [C]fears.

[Verse 4]
I tried [B]to teach [C]myself but I
couldn't [B]unlock my cell.
[C]I tried to dou[B]se the ice & f[C]ire,
to melt, [B]to quell this frozen [C]hell.
I [B]know it's hard,

[Verse 5]
I [Baug]know it'[B]s real.[C]
But [Am]now I have bec[B]ome someone
that you could never [Em]heal.
And I [C]tried like you [D]never,
you left me to teach myself.
[Em]And I crie[C]d & swallowed my tears[D],
salty ex[Em]hausted [B]fea[Em]rs.
And I [C]lied to [D]protect you
both & I still suffer to [Em]help.
And my [C]scars still tear open [D]even after [B]all these years.

really [B]need your [C]help.
I tried to be [B]someone that [C]you
could both be [B]proud of.
Be proud of [Em]me.
