[Intro]

   


[Verse]

            
I tried to be 

             
perfect, but n

             
othing was wor

    
th it
          
I don't believ

e it makes me 

real
            
I thought it'd

             
 be easy, but 

         
no one believe

s me
        
I meant all th

e things that 

I said.


[Chorus]

             
If you believe

            
 it's in my so

ul
        
I'd say all th

e words that I

 know
             
Just to see if

          
 it would show
             
That I'm tryin

             
g to let you k

now
              
That I'm bette

[Verse]

            
This place is 

    
so empty
              
My thoughts ar

     
e so tempting
             
I don't know h

ow it got so b

ad
            
Sometimes it's

    
 so crazy
              
That nothing c

   
an save me,
             
But it's the o

 
nly thing that

 I have.


[Chorus]

             
If you believe

            
 it's in my so

I'd say all th

e words that I

 know
             
Just to see if

I tried to be 

             
perfect it jus

         
t wasn't worth

 it
              
Nothing could 


ever be so wro

It's hard to b

elieve me
              
It never gets 


easy
          
I guess I knew

 that all alon
