Like opening the wound

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume

I'm safe here in my room

Unless I try to start again

[Pre Chorus:]

C               AmI don't want to be the one
    C              Em The battles always choose
       C        Am'Cause inside I realize
     C              EmThat I'm the one confused

[Chorus:]

  Em                      CI don't know what's worth fighting for
   B	Or why I have to scream.
  Em               CI don't know why I instigate
    BAnd say what I don't mean.
  Em               CI don't know how I got this way
  BI know it's not alright.
       C            DSo I'm breaking the habit,

Em        D         Em       Clutching my cure

I tightly lock the door
  D               EmI try to catch my breath again
  D         EmI hurt much more
     
Than any time before
  D              EmI had no options left again

[Chorus:]
