Verse : D Words don’t come to me easy, when i can’t write them down F# The most poignant things i’ve said have never come out of my mouth G And i’m only good at talking when there’s no one else around Gm They always find a hidden meaning based on how they think i sound D I take things way too literal, I think in black and white F# Because you’re either good or bad, and you’re either wrong or right G And i’m not trynna vilify you, im not trynna start a fight but Gm I’m afraid that you’ll see through me if i look you in the eye D I’m chronically afraid of always being misunderstood F# Of never being independent like i always thought i should and G I’m tired of the scrutiny, each day is much more tasking Gm When your whole life’s a performance, i’m so tired of masking
D I don’t beat around the bush but i still get called complicated F# I can’t talk about my feelings without being called a mosaic G I can’t follow a direction without making a mistake Gm I can’t explain to anyone the energy it takes D To act like every other person, with a normal looking smile F# who knows just when to laugh and has the correct looking style G and everytime i fumble people tell me i’m being hostile Gm when i put on my defenses i just get called juvenile D when everything i feel is magnified, emotions sight and sound F# and people always tell me that i’m hard to be around G and i know why i feel this way, i’m tired of you asking Gm why i have so many faces, i’m just tired of masking D I’m not trying to be cynical, for i am just a realist F# if i think of something strongly, i don’t know how you can’t feel it G and i can’t hold it anymore, what aren’t you grasping Gm life has been one grand charade for me, and i am all done masking
