[Verse 1]

I don't know when you're sad

I can't tell when you're mad

You've never been vulnerable

I believed you could change

But you're still the same

And I'm still invisible


[Pre-Chorus]

I keep secrets from my family

All the ways you've been controlling me

When it hurt, I didn't make a sound

All the drama that you put us through

How amazing that it's never you

Who lit the fire, burnt the whole house down


[Chorus]

'Cause nobody taught you how to cry

But somebody showed you how to lie

All of the feelings you don't show

Are all of the reasons to let go


[Post-Chorus]

I know I got nothing lеft

I know I got nothing left


[Verse 2]

I get that it's deep

You've nеver been free

You've never been satisfied

And you blame that on me

The pain you can't see

The anger you hold inside


[Pre-Chorus]

I keep secrets from my friends at home

So embarrassed, I've been so alone

God, I'm over me protecting you


[Chorus]

'Cause nobody taught you how to cry

But somebody showed you how to lie

All of the feelings you don't show

Are all of the reasons to let go


[Post-Chorus]

I know I got nothing left

I know I got nothing left, no

I know I got nothing left, mmm

I know I got nothing left, mmm
