It’s
Bb
not what I thought it would feel like.
The
Bb
praise that’s seeping in,
it goes as
Eb
quick as it comes
like it’s carried by some s
Bb

wind
and I
Cm
know what it seems like.

That I’m thinking on leaving again
Bb
(VER 2)
Maybe
Bb
I’m just a little shallow
and if it’s
Bb
true that still waters run deep
well then
Eb
I’ve been swiftly moving.
Can the
others see right through me?
Bb
My
masque

rades and my illusions

that I crafted so carefully.
Bb
Well, I’m just a

broken
illusion,

I’m not as tough as I oughta be

Well, the flowers my mama bought me.
They only

keep for two weeks
and then they just

become another reminder
that he’s never gonna write to me.
Bb
And I spoke my

be.”
And then she

sent some pretty flowers
with the

hopes that my hurtin’ they would ease

Well, you would think that I should feel happy,
but the

truth is I feel spent.
And the

numbers they’ve been climbing.
Just not enough to pay my rent
Bb
I didn’t used to
Cm
think much of the numbers,
but
F
now they’re
Eb
always

Bb
Now my thoughts are slow and twisted.
And I can’t seem to break them down
which leaves my

words false in meaning.
I feel sad when I speak out loud
Bb
I thought I was to

be a better lover

when I got out of that to

But I’m still
