Reminding myself of everything
             B   B
I'd leave behind
D#m7
But the bottle keeps
sellin' me lies

             F# F#  B
to get that high
D#m7                           B
 I hope God takes mercy on my soul

"Cause I don't wanna let go

CHORUS:
               D#m
I'm puttin' on fake smiles
                 B
for everyone but me
                     B
'Cause I just can't stand to see
F#
My momma cryin'
 B
She can see me dyin'
       D#m7
And I, keep tryna talk to Jesus
 B
And ask Him to take my demons

And one day I'll be okay
         D#m7  B  F#  B
So I pray

D#m7
   I'm tryna believe in love
 B                        F#
It's just gettin' hard to see
 F#               B   B
Through all this blood

She can see me dyin'
