  She comes ba

As if I didn't

As if I'd neve

r noticed
              
The way she br

          
ushed her hair

 from her fore

head

And she said losing love
              
Is like a wind

             
ow in your hea

rt
              
Everybody sees

apart
              
Everybody sees

           
 the wind blow

[Verse 3]
            
There is a gir

City
              
Who calls hers

              
elf the human

And sometimes 

when I'm falli

tumbling in tu

rmoil I say

"Woah, so this

eans"
              
She means we'r
