Strum
D-DU-UDU
you  wrote your name in invisible  ink,
 for you were  so afraid of what  they might think.
 but the scars  they left, they were  loud and clear,
 weren't they?  weren't they?
 when it's too much to bare, memories erase.
 a disappearing act, deserving of our thanks.
 when it surfaces, just hold your breath
 and swim. just swim.
 you begged and begged for some kind of change:
 maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain
 that they've passed down to you like DNA,
 but no luck, no luck.
 it seems only by the hand of God or death,
 will they truly change their silhouettes.
 for a miracle or a consequence,
 you wait and wait...
-------  x2
 ... maybe distance is the only cure?
 far away from hurt is where healing occurs.
 but all you really want to do is make them proud,
 don't you? don't you?
 it must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up,
 to believe in the ghost of unbroken love.
 but i promise you,
 the truth is that you're loved. so loved.
 you're loved.  so loved.
