LYRICS:
Verse 1
I confess it's all true.
I'm a mess, what a fool
Now what do I do
Chorus
I need your help to get up from my knees
I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
As I wait in my silent misery
All I'm asking is please...forgive me
Verse 2
Now she knows me
Now she knows me
She wants me to be
Someone I can't be
...still she wants me
...she needs me
...she wants me
Because she loves me
CHORUS
Bridge
Shattered
Now you see inside
I no longer hide
Or fall between the cracks you left behind
Shattered, now you're out of time
You've come this far to be denied
Verse 3
What a shame, I'm to blame
What a shame, knowing I'm to blame
CHORUS x2
k thats it. that wasnt 2 hard 2 play now was it.
If u wanna check out sum of my other tabs u can look at
BROKEN HANDED, EMPTY SPACES ver. 2, LAST MAN ON THE MOON,
FAME, and if u wanna u can look at LUCKY ver. 1 even though
i realized how wrong it is.
Im also done tabbing Axl Rose and ill submit that soon.
