Tears in my eyes, you’re not by my side
Broken heart, broken soul, broken pride

I’m never gonna fall in love again
Cuz I’ve learned with love you just can’t win

Love is painful, it breaks you down


c h o r u s

I tried, but I can’t control
These feelings deep down in my soul

My heart loves him still
And though the pain is so real

I know time will heal


v e r s e  2

I can’t say that I don’t miss him cuz that’s not the truth
I’m lying to myself, first love of my youth

What’s my heart trying to do to me
I’ll lock it up and throw away the key

I’m not weak, but my heart is now

3 Chords is a non-profit organization aimed at helping refugee youth share their stories through original songs in hopes of fostering global understanding and respect. We work with high school aged refugees in Nashville, TN to teach them how to write and perform original songs and play an instrument to tell share stories with the community and world.

The name 3 Chords comes from a phrase songwriters often say - that the only thing you need to write a song is "three chords and the truth." We take that phrase to heart, believing that it can empower high school refugees new to America to realize that if they can simply learn three chords on an instrument, that's all they'd need to be able to tell their truth through music.
