E
I don't know when you're sad
F#m7
I can't tell when you're mad
C#m7               B
You've never been vulnerable
E                     F#m7
I believed you could change
F#m7                  C#m7
But you're still the same
C#m7               B
And I'm still invisible

E
I keep secrets from my family
F#m7
All the ways you've been in control of me
C#m7                          B
When it hurt I didn't make a sound
E
All the drama that you put us through
F#m7
How amazing that it's never you
C#m7                                     B
Who lit the fire, burnt the whole house down

Chorus:
               A                  E
'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
              C#m7              B
But somebody showed you how to lie
         A                        E
All the feelings that you don't show
               C#m7            B
Are all of the reasons to let go

              A          E
I know I got nothing left
             C#m7        B
I know I got nothing left

I get that it's deep
You've never been free
You've never been satisfied
And you blame that on me
The pain you can't see
The anger you hold inside

I keep secrets from my friends at home
So embarrassed, I've been so alone
God, I'm over me protecting you

Chorus

              A            E
I know I got nothing left
             C#m7               B
I know I got nothing left, oh, oh
              A                 E
I know I got nothing left, mhm-hm
              C#m7              B
I know I got nothing left, mhm-hm
