Intro: Dm F Bb A
[Verso 1]
Dm
I told you that I love you, baby
F
You said you love me, too.
Bb
So why does it seem
Bb
like love doesn't mean
A
as much when it comes from you?
[Verso 2]
Dm
I gave you my heart, completely
F
And promised I'd always be true.
Bb
But now I'm in doubt
Bb
As you wander about
A
Sharing your love with someone new.
[Verso 3]
Dm
And then there's the one from before me
F
Whose memory you can't seem to shake.
Bb
And though we're intertwined
Bb
I can't help but find
A
It's more than my heart can take.
[Refrão]
Dm
I thought this love was ours to treasure,
C
But it's slipping through my hands.
Bb Bb
I can't compete with your past and your pleasure,
A
I’m just caught in the web of your plans.
Dm
Every kiss feels like it's borrowed,
C
Every touch feels like a lie.
Bb Bb
I gave you all of my tomorrows,
A
But now I’m wondering why.
[Verso 4]
Dm
I'm torn between love and heartache,
F
Devotion and a rising pain.
Bb
Your freedom leaves me feeling hollow,
A
Lost in a love that I can't sustain.
[Verso 5]
Dm
I cherish the time we're together,
F
But the shadows of others remain.
Bb Bb
Your touch is sweet, so bittersweet,
A
As I wrestle with this pain.
[Ponte]
Dm
Why does your love have to hurt so deeply,
C
When it’s meant to set us free?
Bb
I’m caught between my need to hold you close,
A
And the space where you want to be.
Dm
Every time I try to let go,
C
Oh, the pain pulls me back inside.
Bb Bb
I'm trapped in this love's illusion,
A
On a never-ending ride.
[Verso 6]
Dm
I've come to accept this heartache,
F
Knowing that the pain won't end.
Bb
I can't break away
Bb
From the love we display,
A
Even if it never mends.
[Verso 7]
Dm
I'll stay by your side forever,
F
Though my heart may bleed and bruise.
Bb
‘Cuz love isn't fair
Bb
And yet I'm aware,
A
You're always the one that I choose.
[Refrão]

I told you that I love you, baby,

And bear this weight
A
That's just the price of loving you.
