A#                                      D#      A#
I was told this is where I would start loving myself
Flirting's delicious, proved to be beneficial
for mental health
All of my best bits pulled forward, collected,
displayed
Sadly, I just think that I was disgusting today

D#m                   A#          A#7
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon,
D#m                    A#     A#7
I'm left a stuttering teen.
D#m                      A#               A#7
How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel
sick.
D#m                       F
Red pushing down on the green..

Chorus:
A#        D#
Could you love this?
A#                F     Gm
Will this one be right?
Gm      A#7      A#dim7 D#
Well if I’m being honest,
D#             F
I’m hoping it might.
A#         D#
Could you love this?
A#               F   Gm
Did you plan to fall?
Gm      A#7      A#dim7
Well if I'm being honest,
   D#         D#m         A#
Oh I bet it's not that at all.

Hope has a cost, keeping all fingers
crossed and held tight
But I look idiotic with my limbs all
knotted, it don't feel right
Truly you've shaken me, and I think
you like how I plead
But I have a hunch that that's all
you wanted from me

You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon
Holding my breath makes me choke
How did I get here?
It's all so quick, and I feel sick
I'm used to being a joke

Chorus

Gm A#dim7 Gm A#dim7

Gm A#dim7 Gm A#dim7

G# F
All

Chorus:
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
If I'm being honest
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all
