🎸 Verse 1:
F
You wrote your name in invisible ink

For you were so afraid of what they might think
Gm C
But the scars they left, they were loud and clear
Gm C
Weren't they? weren't they?
🎸 Verse 2:
F
When it's too much to bare, memories erase
Bb C F
A disappearing act, deserving of our thanks
Gm C
When it surfaces, just hold your breath
Gm C
And swim, just swim
🎸 Verse 3:
F
You begged and begged for some kind of change:
Bb C F
Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain
Gm C
That they've passed down to you like DNA
Gm C
But no luck, no luck
🎸 Verse 4:
F
It seems only by the hand of God or death
Bb C F
Will they truly change their silhouettes
Gm C
For a miracle or a consequence
Gm C
You wait and wait

Maybe distance is the only cure?

Gm C
Don't you? don't you?
🎸 Verse 6:
F
It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up

To believe in the ghost of unbroken love
Gm
But I promise you

The truth is that you're loved. so loved
Gm C F
You're loved. so loved
