[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]
           
They cry 'caus

              
e that's what 

     
they do
       
Oh, when someb

ody's died
              
That's just th

  
e right thing 

to do
           
But you stay l

              
ocked in your 


room
        
And the months

 turn into yea

rs
           
I couldn't lis

t out all my f

ears

[Chorus]
           
So I slipped i

         
nto that prett

y, black mess
             
Sold my soul, 

    
and yeah, it m

ade less
           
Than I knew I 

      
could get on f

or it
             
I was sleeping

  
, I was snorin

They cheer 'ca

              
use that's wha

       
t they do
            
When you're ha

ppy for yourse

lf
              
They'll be so 


happy with you
           
Until push com

       
es to shove
      
And nobody is 

around
       
Nobody offers 

any love

[Chorus]
           
So I slipped i

         
nto that prett

y, black mess
             
Sold my songs 

      
back, then it 

made sense
           
But I knew I w
