But we couldn't make us disappear.

Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.

So in a way, I'm glad you're still here.

It's a bitter sweet victory.

Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

And I-------- can't run, can't hide.

    A                D 
I wrote a couple of notes.

One in love, one in anger. 

          A           D                    G 
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer. 

         A            D   
Lived louder than my voice.

Struggled through a stranger. 

     A                D              G 
He loved me until I loved you even more.

knowing someone else wanted me.

Till you can't feel anything.

      A         D          
You tried to explain  

    A           D 
but I couldn't hear it. 

    A        D             G 
As if your words were my tears. 

   A      D       A        D 
Flowing freely, warm and quiet. 

           A          D          G 
From the edges of my eyes and my ears. 

                 A 
Then all that disappears.
