[Verse]
G                 D
I've been wrapped up in a shell.
Am            C
Nothing could get through to me.
G          D
Acted like I didn't know.
Am            C
I had friends and family.
G           D
I saw worry in their eyes.
Am        C            G  D  Am
It looked like fear to me.

my tenderness.

I've been,

Careless.

I took,    bad care of this.

[Verse]
G          D
Like a mixture in a bottle.
Am        C
Like a frozen over lake.
G           D
Like a long time painted smile.
Am            C
I got so hard I had to crack.
G              D
You were there you held the line.
Am             C                G    D Am
You're the one that brought me back.
