That I’m fine, I’m fine if I can fool myself tonight

And my lie will drown out all of yours

F
I will not bend until I break,
C Dm
how much can one bruised body take?
Bb
Just not enough to silence me,
Bb
you’re only a memory
F C
I’ll scream these words ’til they come true,
Dm
then I will think no more of you
Bb
Look back on what I’m going through,
F
this isn’t my identity
F – Am

You have my sympathy
