I'm trying to tell you

I love how you hurt me

I hate that i need you so

Sick and tired of needing your attention
D Am
I chose to be lonely
C
Than live without your attention
Em
I scatch your sweet name
C
Right into my skin
G
You left me bleeding
D
But i couldn't give in
I swallowed the poison
To get infected
Give back my heart that
Your body rejected
Oh no

That's smothering me
Em C
It's more becoming my own blood
D
Why can't you see?
C Am
That I'm starving for your love and I
C D
need attention or I'm gonna die
