View chords used in this chart
G D
I pretend that I'm glad you went away
Em D
These four walls closing more every day
C
And I'm dying inside
D G
And nobody knows it but me
 
G D
Like a clown I put on a show
Em D
The pain is real even if nobody knows
C
And I'm crying inside
D G
And nobody knows it but me
 
(CHORUS)
Em D
Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
C D
How could I let my angel get away
Em D
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
C
I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around
 
The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
 
I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling inside
And nobody knows it but me (yeah)
 
I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I'd scream out at night if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah, my heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me
 
(CHORUS)
 
How blue can I get?
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be loving you still
 
The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
 
Tomorrow morning
I'm hittin the dusty road
Gonna find you where ever
Ever you might go
And I'm gonna unload my heart
And hope you come back to me
 
Say when the nights are lonely
The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
 
The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
 
The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
