DTell ’em what it’s like Bec
Because they Gthink they want to know
Beyond the lights, beyond the show, what it isA  
Tell ’em what it’s Dlike Bec
To live with a Gman who’s never Dthere
To wonder Gif he even Dcares when he’s goneA  
He’s always Ggone, here or Dthere
[Verse 2]
Tell ’em what it’s Dlike Bec
To be someGone some love to Dhate
Your pretty Gsmile and all your Dgrace, it wears you Athin
Tell ’em what it’s Dlike Bec
When I’m Gcurled up on the Dfloor
And I can’t Gtake it anyDmore and I’m a messA  
Tell’em what it’s Glike
[Chorus]
BmThey can’t hear, they won’t Gbelieve
DWhat it’s really like to love a man like Ame
But your Emactions they speak louder than some Gdrunk girl in the crowd
Who wants to Dtalk about how you make it when I Aleave

[Chorus]
BmThey can’t hear, they won’t Gbelieve
DWhat it’s really like to love a man like Ame
But my Emactions they speak louder than some Gdrunk girl in the crowd
