1. She tries for the honesty,
but the truth gets in the way,
G F Am E Am
‘cause
I know inside what she can't bring herself to say.
C G C
There's something dying deep
in her heart,
Am Em
I feel it when I touch her hand.
G F Am E Am
- G
So I tell her a lie when I
tell her I understand.

G C
But inside I die a little each day,
Am G Am
inside I feel her slipping away.
F B7
Inside if she knew I hurt this way,
Em A7
inside she'd find a reason to stay,
F Fm C
and so I must keep this broken
heart down deep inside.

2. She turns to look at me,
trying to speak her mind,
G F Am E Am
a thousand
reasons in search of a single rhyme.
C G C
Am Em
And suddenly it occurs to me
she's trying to say goodbye,
G F Am E Am
G
so I
give her a smile and tell her that I'll be alright, oh.
+ CHORUS
Dm C
Fm
Bb D#
+ Sometimes love will slip
away, it's hard to say just why.
G C
Is it something that's said or
is it instead
F G7
something
that just simply died ?
