[Eb]
[Ab] I [Db] gave you [Ab] my sunrise, you left [Eb] me in the night
[Cm] I keep asking myself [Db] why
[Ab] you a home in the center of my chest
[Ab] I caught every tear before it could fall
[Ab] But love don't always speak the truth you wanna hear
[Ab] And I'm standing here, broken and raw
To keep your world
[Ab] I [Db] gave you [Ab] my sunrise, you left [Eb] me in the night
[Cm] I keep asking myself [Db] why
[Ab] you a home in the center of my chest
[Ab] I caught every tear before it could fall
[Ab] But love don't always speak the truth you wanna hear
[Ab] And I'm standing here, broken and raw
To keep your world

[Ab] I _ _ [Db] _ _ gave you [Ab] my sunrise, you left [Eb] me in the night
And [Cm] I keep asking myself [Db] why
I built [Ab] you a home in the center of my chest
[Eb] Every heartbeat spelled out your name in my breath
[Ab] I caught every tear before it could fall
[Db] Held you like I was the answer to it all
[Ab] But love don't always speak the truth you wanna hear
[Eb] Sometimes it's a whisper that fades into fear
[Ab] And I'm standing here, broken and raw
[Db] Facing the truth that I
[Ab] _
_ To keep your world
[Eb] _ _ I [Cm] wasn't the fire
You needed when you [Db] were falling
I gave you [Ab] my love, but my heart [Eb] _ wasn't
Yeah sometimes [Db] it happens
[Eb] I [Ab] wasn't enough
I tried to hold on when the tide pulled away
But your [Eb] heart was drifting to another bay
I [Fm] watched your smile turn into a mask
And I [Db] kept begging for one more chance for [Ab] me
No matter, _ [Eb] you already got it in your mind
[Fm] And the heart is true
I'm thinking love [Db] is made before you
[Ab] _
_ To keep your world
[Eb] _ _ I [Fm] wasn't the fire
You needed when [Db] you were cold
_ I gave you [Ab] my love, but my heart [Eb] wasn't
Yeah _ _ [Db] sometimes it happens
[Eb] I [Ab] wasn't enough
It's not [Bbm] about blame
It's not [Db] about what gets you [Ab] so low
_ [Eb] We [Bbm] were a storm that burned [Db] through the night
But not [Eb] every fire to survive
I still remember [Ab] the way you breathed
Your [Eb] hand in mine, you leaned into me
And if [F] I could rewrite the [Fm] stars above
I'd make [Db] me enough
_ [Ab] But wishes don't change what's already gone
And tears [Eb] don't rewrite
I'm _ [Cm] just a page [Fm] in the book you closed
A ghost [Db] in the home we used to know
[Ab] _ To keep your world
[Eb] I wasn't the _
[Cm] fire
You needed when you [Db] were calling
I gave [Ab] you my love, but my heart [Eb] _ _ wasn't
Yeah [Db] sometimes it happens
[Eb] I [Ab] wasn't enough Wasn't enough
To my sunrise, you left [Eb] with my head
Even though [Cm] it's right
To the start where we first [Db] fell in love
Only [Eb] to learn
I wasn't enough
_ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] Mmm _ _
[Eb] Babe
_ _ [Bb] I gave you my sunrise
You left me in the [Gm] night
And I keep asking myself [Bb] why
I built you a home in the center of my chest
Every [Gm] heartbeat spelled out your name in my breath
I [Eb] caught every tear before it could fall
[Bb] Held you like I was the answer to it all
But love don't always speak the truth you wanna hear
Sometimes it's a [Gm] whisper that fades into fear
And I'm standing [Eb] here, broken in the truth
[F] I wasn't [Bb] enough
I wasn't enough
To keep your [Gm] world from falling
I wasn't the [Eb] fire you needed
When you were [Bb] calling
I gave you my love, but my heart wasn't
[Gm] _
[Bb] Yes sometimes it happens
I wasn't enough
I tried to hold on when the tide pulled away
But your [Gm] heart was drifting to another bay
[Eb] I watched your smile turn into a mask
[Bb] And I kept begging for one more chance
But baby no matter _ _ _
And the hardest [Eb] truth
All I've got is maybe [F] for you
I [Bb] wasn't enough
To keep your [Gm] world from falling
I wasn't the fire [Eb] you needed
When [Bb] you were calling
I gave you my love, but my heart wasn't
[Gm] Yes sometimes [Eb] it happens
I wasn't enough
It's not [Gm] about blame, it's not about wrong
It's [Eb] just some loves ain't built to last long
We [Bb] were a storm that burned through the night
But [F] not every fire is meant to survive
I still [Bb]
remember the [Gm] way you'd breathe
Your [Eb] hand in mine, [Bb] you'd lean into me
And if I could rewrite the stars above
I'd make me [Gm] enough
I'd make me [Eb] enough
[Fm] _ _ But wishes [Bb] don't change what's already gone
And [Gm] tears don't rewrite a broken song
Now I'm [Eb] just a page in the book you closed
A ghost in the home [Fm] we used to know
I wasn't [Bb] enough
To keep your world [Gm] from falling
I wasn't the fire [Eb] you needed
When you [Bb] were calling
I gave you my love, but my heart wasn't
[Gm] Yes [Eb] sometimes it happens
[Bb] I wasn't enough
I gave you my sun, you left [Gm] with my night
I'd do [Eb] it again, even [Bb] though it is right
Back to the start, where we first fell in love
But only to [Eb] learn, I wasn't enough _ _
[Ab] I _ _ [Db] _ _ gave you [Ab] my sunrise, you left [Eb] me in the night
