[Verse]
          
Do you know wh

             
at's worth fig

      
hting for,
          
When it's not 

            
worth dying fo

r?
          
Does it take y

          
our breath awa

y
            
And you feel y

             
ourself suffoc

ating?
          
Does the pain 

             
weigh out the 


pride?
          
And you look f

             
or a place to 


hide?
          
Did someone br

             
eak your heart

  
 inside?
            
You're in ruin

[Verse]
          
When you're at

             
 the end of th

  
e road
          
And you lost a

And your thoug

             
hts have taken

       
 their toll
            
When your mind

[Bridge]
          
Did you try to

             
 live on your 


own
          
When you burne

Did you stand

Like a liar lo
