Am Em
I cannot close my eyes
G D
I cannot fall asleep
Am Em G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D F
Drowning in this memory
[Verse 1]
Am Em
As I lay me down to sleep
G D
I pray the memories won’t find me
Am Em
Hit the bottle, hit the pills, trying anything
G D
Just to forget what you did to me
Am Em
Won’t tell my friends, won’t tell my shrink
G D
Yeah, maybe I should say something
Am Em
But I’m terrified you’ll put the blame on me
G D
So I live with the ghost, keep it buried deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory
Dm Am Em
My past is taking over me
Dm Am Em G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go
[Chorus]
Am Em
I cannot close my eyes
G D
I cannot fall asleep
Am Em G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D F
Drowning in this memory
An Em
It has me paralyzed
G D
It’s always haunting me
Am Em G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
D
Might kill me to keep it
F
It’s my little secret
[Verse 2]
Am Em
I’ve seen so much I can’t unsee
G D
I’ve learned to suffer silently
Am En
Fight a war every day that no one sees
G D
It’s torture always remembering
Am En
I don’t want them to think I’m weak
G D
So I bite my tongue until it bleeds
Am Em
The weight of this is breaking me
G D
To keep it under lock and key
[Chorus]
Am Em
I cannot close my eyes
G D
I cannot fall asleep
Am Em G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D F
Drowning in this memory
An Em
It has me paralyzed
G D
It’s always haunting me
Am Em G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
D
Might kill me to keep it
F
It’s my little secret
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory
Dm Am Em
My past is taking over me
Dm Am Em G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go
[Chorus]
Am Em
I cannot close my eyes
G D
I cannot fall asleep
Am Em G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D F
Drowning in this memory
An Em
It has me paralyzed
G D
It’s always haunting me
Am Em G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
D
Might kill me to keep it
F
It’s my little
G
My little secret
