Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
Pre-Chorus
[C]I don't want to be the one
The [C]battles always choose
Cuz [C]inside I realize
That [C]I'm the one confused
Chorus
[Em]I don't know what's worth [C]fighting for
Or [Bm]why I have to scream
[Em]I don't know why I instigate[C]
And[Bm] say what I don't mean
