Standard (EADGBE)

From the scrapes and bruises

 To the familiar abuses

 I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything

I could spill my guts out

 Wearing my best little girl pout

 And I almost missed it

 But nobody said that this was gonna be easy

 This is not the man I hoped to be, and

 I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

 I don't know how to word it

 I just started to deserve it

 And all my, all my faces are alibis

 And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

Most times it all comes out wrong

 I don't know the words but I'll hum along

 There's nothing familiar here anymore

 to anyone or anything left to feel alive

And I still taste that sickness

 And it makes me crazy without it at best

 But I'm in the same place I used to be

 But I'm trying harder not to be

 This is not the man I hoped to be

 And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

 I don't know how to word it

 I just started to deserve it

 And all my, all my faces are alibis

 And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

So what am I? What am I? So what am I?

 And all my, all my faces are alibis

 This is not the man I hoped to be

 And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

 I don't know how the words go

 I just started not to say no

Don't want it, Don't get it

 I know you won't regret it

 Don't surface, Don't surface

 And I feel so damned worthless

 Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis

 all my faces are alibis

 I'm half the man I wanted to be
