[Verse 1]
Am C
I've been holding my breath
F
I've been counting to ten
F
Over something you said.
Am C
I've been holding back tears,
F
While you're throwing back beers.
F
I'm alone in bed.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C F F
You know I----- I'm afraid of change
Am C F F
Guess that's wh-----y we stay the same
[Chorus]
C
So tell me to leave
Am F
I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Am
Find someone that loves you
C F
Better than I do, darling, I know.
G
'Cause you remind me everyday
Am Dm
I'm not enough, but I still stay
[Verse 2]
Am C
Feels like a lifetime
F F
Just trying to get by while we're dying inside.
Am C
I've done a lot of things wrong
F
Loving you being one
F
But I can't move on
[Pre-Chorus]

You know I----- I'm afraid of change

You remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay
This is so simple and yet it haunts my soul. I imagine someone walking in the desert all alone, broken and bruised. When this person doesn't even know where he/she will be going. But he/she just had to get out of there. Like a metaphor for a failing relationship. And finally realizing that the person is worth it. That he/she is worthy to be happy and to find somebody that will make him/her happy and contented. Definitely something that all of us had experienced once or twice in our life. I love this song. Definitely an addition to my ever-growing playlist of emo songs.
