Well forget it you can't have it I'll never fit your mold

This shit is getting old

I try to be the one that you can count on 
F 
I fought it tooth and nail but you were just gone 
C 
So forget it you can't have it I'll never be the one 
G 
I am the setting sun 


Am 
I’m reckless and selfish 

I'm feeling defenseless 
F 
Even at my best 

I'm still feeling like a mess 
C 
I'm not proud of who I've been

I know I've gotta grow

I live with a temper 

That never gets better

It's ripping me to shreds 

It's still burning in my head

I'm not proud of who I've been 
G 
I know I've gotta grow

So forget it you can't have it I'll never fit your mold

I know I question myself at every moment

Every flaw on the surface you make me show it 
C 
So forget it you can't have it I'll never be the one 
G 
I am the rising sun 


Am 
I’m reckless and selfish 

I'm feeling defenseless

Even at my best 

I'm still feeling like a mess 
C 
I'm not proud of who I've been 
G 
I know I've gotta grow 
Am 
I live with a temper 

That never gets better 
F 
It's ripping me to shreds 

It's still burning in my head 
C 
I'm not proud of who I've been 
G 
I know I've gotta grow 


Am * 
I'm bound to break if I stay the same 
F * 
With all my weight I will force a change 
C * 
Cause in my skin is the sunlight 
G * 
And in my heart there is still a fight
