[Intro]
Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb
I can hear your laugh
Eb
It's ringing through the hallways
Eb
I can see your smile
Eb
It's what gets me through my hard days
Eb
And your words was suppose
Eb
To get me through my heartache,
Eb
Before my heartbreak
Cm Eb Bb
There's an emptiness that only few ever feel
And I somehow missed
Cm
The meaning of love that is real
Eb Bb
And it compliments my scars that will never heal
[Chorus]
Cm Eb
Maybe I didn't deserve you
Bb
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
Cm Eb
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Bb
Why do I feel like I turned you?
Cm Eb
Maybe I don't understand it
Bb
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Cm Eb
Did you see us so stranded
Bb
Maybe I'm to much too manage
[Verse 2]
Eb
And if you weren't gonna guide me
Eb
Why bring me into the light?
Eb
Must have done something
Eb
To make you want to run and hide
Eb
Why oh why didn't you just live your life?
Cm Eb
And every girl needs a mother
Bb
And damn it I needed you
Instead you duck for cover
Cm
And you ran from the truth
Eb
And like kids do
Bb
You waited around for proof
[Chorus]
Cm Eb
Maybe I didn't deserve you
Bb
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
Cm Eb
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Bb
Why do I feel like I turned you?
Cm Eb
Maybe I don't understand it
Bb
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Cm Eb
Did you see us so stranded
Bb
Maybe I'm to much too manage
Bb
Maybe I didn't deserve you
