lyrics

Letterbox

Hey, how are you?
Do leaves fall faster
When I'm gone?
And do you feel better
When I'm wrong?
I'm always wrong

I'm just confused
How I could feel this
all along
And how you despised it
when you're wrong
You're always wrong

And maybe I should get some sleep
My dreams and I
Have never been at peace
And maybe you could finally breathe
And let the words against you sink in
Let the waves crash down
Like what you did to me

Can't say I miss this
I feel more lost when I'm at home
And maybe it's a sign I'm best alone
Your "guidance" hurt more than you know
You'll never know

Did you expect this?
Well where was I supposed to go?
When all I have is what I know
But still I found this more than home
I'm letting go

And these words choked back
Are suffocating me

They tie me down
'Till I can hardly breathe

And maybe one day you'll learn to see,
That all I ever wanted,
Was to make you proud of me

And maybe I should get some sleep
My dreams and I
Have never been at peace
And maybe you could finally breathe
Let these words against you sink in
Let the waves crash down
Like what you did to me

I found a way out of this mess
Become self reliant
Can't trust anyone
But this feeling in my chest

And maybe now you know best,
But I refuse to die and know I
Lived here in regret

And maybe you could get some sleep
My dreams and I
Have never been at peace
And maybe you could finally breathe
And let the words against you sink in
Let the waves crash down
Like what you did to me
