i’m in the city you hated , my eyes are fallen
counting the clicks with the living dead , my eyes are red
i’m in the crush and i hate it , my eyes are fallen

i’m having trouble inside my skin
i try to keep my skeletons in

Am G C F

that the city girl was ever there or anywhere?

Am G C F
i don’t need any help to be breakable , believe me
i know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
i won’t need any help to be lonely when you leave me

it’ll be easy to cover
gather my skeletons far inside

it’ll be summer in dallas before i realize

Am G C F
i don’t want you to grieve but i want you to sympathize ( alright )
i can’t blame you for losing your mind for a little while ( so did i )
i don’t want you to change but i want you to recognize ( that i )
