         E
Why am I so damn lonely?
   G#7        C#m                 A
Am I the only one who feels this way?
          E
Why am I so damn reckless?
G#7
I can't shake this
C#m        A
I am not okay

               E
And they say, maybe I should learn
a little thing about depression
     G#7
Like crying to a stranger's gonna
help me with progression
    C#m
And I don't wanna take it,
I don't wanna learn my lesson
A
All I really want is just the
love and the affection
      E
And they don't understand
a single word that I am saying
G#7
All they wanna do is put me on some medication
     C#m
It's hard for me to open up it's
hard for me to say shit
A
Writing all this music's
like my form of meditation

     E
And, ooh, ooh
                         G#7
They've come to take me away, again
                       C#m
Take control of me and all my friends
                             A
I've got this feeling and I can't pretend

Chorus:
          E
Why am I so damn lonely?
   G#7        C#m                 A
Am I the only one who feels this way?
          E
Why am I so damn reckless?
G#7                 C#m        A
I can't shake this, I am not okay
          E
Why am I so damn lonely?
   G#7        C#m                 A
Am I the only one who feels this way?
          E
Why am I so damn reckless?
G#7                 C#m        A
I can't shake this, I am not okay

So I thought, what's the point in
trying if I cannot find a reason?
I'm lying to myself,
I got a problem with believin'
Believing in the good,
I know my face can be deceiving
'Cause I've been tryna hide it,
I've been falling off the deep end
We're posting happy photos like
 we handle different faces
Ride and take me back to this from
when we're on vacation
It doesn't help me feel this whole
loneliness I'm facing
Like twenty likes a post supposed
to be the one salvation

And ooh, ooh
They've come to take me away again
Take control of me and all my friends
I've got this feeling and I can't pretend

Chorus:
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feel this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feel this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay, ooh, oh
