[Verse 1]
G                            B7
Buried myself into somebody else
Em
Shut out some parts of me,
  G               C7
 did it so casually
               G
I guess I needed that
                 B7
to be able to step back
  Em
I lived my life without me,
   G                C7
I never allowed me to

Don't need somebody to pick
       G      C7

[Verse 2]
G
Lovеd you so much,
                 B7
took an army to pull me up
    Em
But now on the other side,
         G             C7  Cm
I remembered I could fly
                    G
I told you I wanted you
(I told you)
                     B7
But you needed me to need
you (Needed me to need you)
          Em
Your insecurity was the
  G           C7   Cm
 death of you and me (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
    G
Too many times you questioned
                B7
what were my intentions
(Ooh, yeah)
  Em
I never gave you reasons,
  G                    C7   Cm
 you're the one with secrets
