I’m slowly learning that the things you promised me
    Bb               C           Dm              -nc-
Are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees
    Bb           C                Dm                  Am
And every single secret has  been broadcast like T.V. …
     Bb                  C                 Dm           -nc-

Surprised at how you turned on me so fast  … I let you
Bb    C        Dm        Am
In, I held you close, my blood flows like a
Bb             C               Dm             -nc-

I was so naive I even let you in my home
Bb               C          Dm              -nc-
Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes
Bb           C                    Dm                Am
I can’t even breathe; I have your scent still in my nose
     Bb            C           Dm          -nc-
It’s like I almost miss you; I should have known

Biography

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.
