D We were just strangers F# Didn’t know your name but Bm A I could tell you were good at hiding your pain D The ones you kept closest F# Didn’t even notice Bm A But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away D F# And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you Bm A Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed Chorus: G A Bm Em D That you were okay A D But I learnt the hard way G A Bm Em D Thought it wasn’t my place A D But I learnt the hard way You left us too soon Such pain they put you through Only felt safe in your room Needed someone to turn to A delicate flower They took all your power And got in your head before you could even bloom But lately it's haunting me, I didn't protect you Your skin was still thickening, but I just assumed Chorus G Pretending everything’s okay A I should’ve taken on your weight D G Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way G And why does someone have to lose? A And why did that have to be you? D G Wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way Pretending everything’s okay I should’ve taken on your weight Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way And why does someone have to lose?
