Enlarge the hole in my heart

Rising river in the dark

'Til our shores were far apart

G#m
There's no previous reference
                        B C#
For this level of pain
G#m
I can't feign indifference
                B F#
Can't look away
G#m
The years they go by

The hurt I still hide
                     B          C#
If I look okay, it's just the outside
G#m
There's no previous reference

For this level of pain
             B       C#
Oh I could hear him sing

Before me, I doubt this highly
