G#m B F#
Where do I take this pain of mine
G#m B E
I run but it stays right by my side
[Chorus 1]
G#m F# E
So tear me open and pour me out
G#m F# B
There's things inside that scream and shout
G#m F# E
And the pain still hates me
G#m F# E G#m
So hold me until it sleeps
G#m B E
G#m F# E
[Verse]
G#m B F#
Just like the curse, just like the stray
G#m B E
You feed it once and now it stays, now, it stays
[Chorus]
G#m F# E
So tear me open but beware
G#m F# B
There's things inside without a care
G#m F# E
And the dirt still stains me
G#m F# E D#m
So wash me until I'm clean

So tell me why you've chosen me
G#m B E
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed, don't want it
[Chorus]

I'll tear me open, make you gone
G#m F# B
No more can you hurt anyone
G#m F# E
And the fear still shakes me
G#m F# E D#m
So hold me, until it sleeps
[Post-Chorus]

Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run, but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There’s things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There’s things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I’m clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you’ve chosen me
Don’t want your grip
Don’t want your greed
Don’t want it
I’ll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps
I don’t want it
So tear me open but beware
There’s things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me... till clean
I’ll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
