Then I’d died for you, then you made me blue

Because​, you tell me I’m not worth shit

Did i do something wrong? This feeling’s unfair
Bb
You’re making me anxious but why the fuck do I care?
Dm C
I overthink everything til’ my thoughts are impaired
F
I hate everything about me I think I need some air
F
Drink some water, take a breath
Bb
Take a moment to be thankful for the reasons that you’re blessed
Dm C
It’s not about mistakes you made or failures that you had
F
​It’s all about the memories and little things you have
F
Your freckles and flaws to your body and bruises

​Your scars to your beautiful ​birth marks, ​the truth is

So play the cards that you’re dealt

Nobody likes you more than when you’re being yourself
