Em C
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
G D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
Em C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
G D
begging god to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
Em C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call
G
where you said you'd always love me,
D
do you not tell the truth at all?
Em C
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
G D
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.
C Em G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.
D
I need some sleep tonight.
C Em G
'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but
D C
I'm still waiting by the phone.
Em G
And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me
D
or even tell me that you cared
Em C
cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
G D
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue?
