Cm                                G#
I'm not the type to get my heart broken
                                   Cm
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
                              G#
'cause I never leave my heart open
                           G#
Never hurts me to say goodbye
                             A#
Relationships don't get deep to me
                             Gm
Never got the whole in love thing
                                  Fm
And someone can say they love me truly
                                   Cm
But at the time it didn't mean a thing

Chorus:
            G#                  Cm
My mind is gone, I'm spinning round
            G#                  G#
And deep inside, my tears I'll drown
            A#                Gm
I'm losing grip, what's happening
              Fm                  Cm
I stray from love, this is how I feel
This time was different
           G#
Felt like, I was just a victim
        Fm
And it cut me like a knife
          A#
When you walked out of my life
     Cm
Now I'm, in this condition
      G#
And I've, got all the symptoms
      Fm
Of a girl with a broken heart
        A#                              G#
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed?
'Cause it's hurting me to let it go
Maybe 'cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more
I should've never let you hold me, baby
Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give it to you on purpose
Can't figure out how you stole my heart

My mind is gone, I'm spinning 'round
And deep inside, my tears, I'll drown
I'm losing grip, what's happening?
I stray from love, this is how I feel

Chorus:
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what, you'll never see me cry

G#                                 Gm    Cm
How did I get here with you, I'll never know?
G#                               Gm   Cm
I never meant to let it get so, personal
G#            A#           Gm             Cm
After all I tried to do, stay away from loving you
A#                                   G#
I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know
                    A#
And I won't let it show
                  Cm
You won't see me cry

Chorus:
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what, you'll never see me cry
This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
(You'll never see me cry)
Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
[Outro]
But no matter what, you'll never see me cry
All my life
