[Opening]
[Dm]I’ll keep the pictures [Db]saved in a safe place, [Bb]wow, I look so weird here
My [Db]face has changed now, [Dm] [Db]it’s a big [Bb]shame [Db]
[Dm]So many feelings, [Db]struggling to leave my [Bb]mouth
And it’s not that rare for me to [Db]let myself [Dm]down
In a big [Db]way, [Bb]but I had enough [C]time and I found enough reason to accept that
[chorus]
[F]It’s not the [C]same anymore, [Gm]I lost the joy in my face [Dm]

[F]I spend a long time [C]putting up with people, [Gm]putting on my best face [Dm]
It’s only normal when you [F]stop things in the wrong [C]way
It’s only four o’clock and [Gm]still, it’s been a long day
[Dm]I just wanna hit the hay, [F]people knocking on me like every day [C]
[verse 3]
I’m tired of taking stress, if [Gm]only there could be another way [Dm]
I’m tired of feeling suppressed, [F]and when they want me the most [C]
I’m tired of acting like I [Dm]care, but I do, and I [C]can’t wait to hit the bed
But tomorrow makes me scared
[chorus]
[F]’Cause it’s not the same [C]anymore, [Gm]I lost the joy in my face[Dm]
My life was simple before[F], I should be happy, [C]of course (Of course)[Gm]
But things just got much harder, [Dm]now it’s just hard to ignore[F]

[verse 4]
[D]I kept the feelings [Gm]inside, [D]I open up when shit gets built up [Gm]this high
[D]She makes it easy to [Gm]cry, [D]the words fall out of me and there’s no more [Gm]disguise
[Dm]I miss the days when I was someone else, [Gb]I used to be so hungry
Right now, my stomach’s full [D#]as hell, and I’ve [Gb]spent many months just hating on myself
I can’t [F]keep wishing things will be different, or leaving problems on the shelf
