🩹🎸 Playing through the pain — literally.

Wrote this one about loving someone through their silence, their patterns, their past… and learning when to let go, with love still in your hands.

Performed it tonight with a broken left hand in a cast. This is the best of my one finger guitar playing!

I know the reasons why you're broken

I know the secrets you hide deep

All of the words you've left unspoken

I know you're broken just like me

You know I've loved you since I met you

I had a feeling I can't explain

Something told me to protect you

I could see how hard you hid the pain

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

Under the cold blue light of envy

Cast by the full and jealous moon

You try to guard your pride so gently

You calculate just what you need to prove

How you keep a broken promise

How you wage a borrowed fight

How you struggle to be honest

In the shadows, out of sight

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

Now you tell me that you're leaving

Now you tell me that it's time

I won't say I'm disagreeing

And I won't pretend I don't know why

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody owes you like I do

[Verse]

I know the reasons why you're broken

I know the secrets you hide deep
