                    A
Boy, you're such a lost cause
                  C#
Now your name is crossed off
               D
How you gonna fix this?
               Dm
You can't even fix yourself
                A
It was almost two years
                 C#
That I chose to spend here
              D
All alone at New Year's
           Dm
Thinkin', "What the Hell?"

A
I don't wanna break you,
          C#
thread a needle tryna stitch you
       D          Dm
but I can't, I refuse

Chorus:
D                           E
I shouldn't love you but I couldn't help it
A                       C#
Had a feelin' that you never felt it
D                             E
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
C#/F             F#m               DE
Don't know why I looked the other way
  A               C#
I wanted you to change, yeah
D
I shouldn't love you but I couldn't help it
Dm
I always knew that you were too damn selfish

I bet you thought you gave me real love
But we spent it all in nightclubs
All you ever wanna do is lie
Why you always such a Gemini?
Baby, who you tryna run from?
Me or all your problems?
You know you will never solve 'em
You don't even know yourself

I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

Chorus

I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

              A
But it's not possible
                 C#
Plus, I'm not responsible
                   D
For your self-made obstacles
                     Dm
Put my heart in the hospital, woah, woah-oh

Chorus
