[Verse]
          
Your sister st

            
arted pulling 

    
her hair out
           
But when she p

           
ulled up next 

   
to me
        
I pretended th

          
e sun was in m

y eyes
          
Instead of pre

            
tending she wa

         
sn't looking

[Pre-Chorus]
           
It's a quick g

              
ame, a canker 


sore in the wa

y
            
I'm thinking a

            
bout you every

 
 day

[Chorus]
           
When I was you

ng
            
Death chewed m


e up
    
And I was swal

lowed by
            
By a world tha

    
t I don't feel

 a part of
            
By a world tha

             
t I don't feel

              
 a part of any
