Dm             A#
I tried to be perfect
                 F
But nothing was worth it
           C/E              Dm
I don’t believe it makes me real
                  A#
I thought it'd be easy
              F
But no one believes me
        C/E               A#
I meant all the things I said

Chorus:
                           F
If you believe it’s in my soul
        C                     A#
I’d say all the words that I know
                          F
Just to see if it would show
           C                A#
That I’m trying to let you know
                          Dm
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty,
my thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
that nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

Chorus

I tried to be perfect, it just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me, it never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

Chorus
