 They never taught us how to love
              G                F G
So we use our pain to comfort us
Am                             C
 And we never practice what we preach
           G                        F G
Instead we find someone else to teach
 
Am                             C
 We try not to see with our eyes
                 G                    F G
And fill our plates with dozens of lies
Am                         C
 We try so hard to keep it in
         G                       F G
We turn away from what lies within
 

       Am                    C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G                                   F     G
Deep within the walls that we've forgotten
        Am                 C
All the answers to all our problems
G                               F         G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

Oooooooooo  Oooooo (2X) 

Am                      C
 We're so afraid to be alone
                G                   F G
So we hoard our pain and call it home
Am                                  C
 They never taught us how to look inside
            G                         F G
Only how to run and how to dry our eyes
 
Am                       C
 We dig ourselves into a ditch
               G                    F G
How many of us die and pretend to live
Am                             C
 We stop the life from leaking in
              G                       F G
When we turn away from what lies within

We are splintered and we are rotten
G                                   F     G
Deep under the floorboards we've forgotten
            Am                 C
But all the answers to all our problems
G                               F         G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
