Verse 1:
C majorC C majorC
My skin was steel, you made it rust
C majorC G+G
And I just can't drink this off
C majorC G+G
Hoping that it gets me through today
C majorC G+G
Carved into my skin, I'm just a fragile little kid
C majorC
I've been branded by this
G+G
My self-portrait lacks innocence
Chorus:
E minorEm
You keep saying that I matter
G+G
But it doesn't make me feel anything
E minorEm
Just stop saying that there's next year
G+G
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today
Verse 2:

I was holding my own

But then your fingers traced the cracks in my bones

You said, "Just open up, kid
G+G
Then you can make yourself whole again"
Chorus:
E minorEm
You keep saying that I matter

Laid out on the concrete

I have to leave this body

Please, just remember me

Outro:
C majorC G+G
My skin was steel, but now its rust
C majorC G+G
I'm giving in, I'm fucking crushed
C majorC G+G
You just couldn't even care at all
C majorC
But maybe I'll get over this
G+G
And maybe I'll grow up from it
C majorC G+G
But all I keep thinking is it should have been me
C majorC G+G
It should've been me
