F
You wrote your name in invisible ink

        Bb                C               F
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?

     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

    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

          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

      F
Maybe distance is the only cure?

      Bb                     C         F
Far away from hurt is where healing occurs

    Gm                           C
But all you really want to do is make them proud

  Gm           C
Don't you? don't you?

        F
It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up

   Bb                         C     F
To believe in the ghost of unbroken love

      Gm
But I promise you

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

       Gm       C      F
You're loved. so loved
