What I Didn't Know


 
 

B        G#m
I complain
        E                    F#
when nothing's even wrong
        B            G#m
and you're ashamed
            E                            F#
cause you're not quite that strong

E                    F#
that's when I said I'll need
B                            G#m
more than you can offer me
E                            F#
I miss your face as you can tell
E                            F#
I hope my absence makes you well

                        B
'cause what I didn't know
                G#m
is I was killing you
            E                           F#
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
                F#
but I am older now
                G#m
and I am sorry to
                E
so I can wait awhile
        F#
if it brings me back to you

I am shy
I never speak a word
and you are numb
from all the things you've never heard

that's when I said I'll need
more than you can offer me
now I own an empty space
and I can't fill it with your face

'cause what I didn't know
is I was killing you
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
but I am older now
and I believe in you
so I can wait awhile
if it brings me back to you

that's when I said I'll need
more than you can offer me
I'm gonna miss your face as you can tell
I hope my abscence makes you well, yeah

'cause what I didn't know
is I was killing you
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
but I am older now
and I believe in you
so I can wait awhile
if it brings me back to you
