I Hope This Finds You Well
All our time I'm writing away
Remind myself you're better this way
'Cause this hurts more than words can say
I hope you know I want to stay
I just can't keep delaying the day
That I turn and walk away
You'd be in harm's way
Just by staying close to me
And I can't bear that
So this is how it has to be
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
Tears in my eyes I hate goodbyes
If I knew it would end this way then I
Never would've said hello
Whoa
I was selfish
To think that I could have it all
I reach my arms out
But I could never stop the fall
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
This burns me, but you
Mean the world to me
Can't risk hurting you (Hurting you)
Or worse losing you (Losing you)
So I'll let go of you
Now promise you'll forget about me
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
Just know I won't forget about you
Remind myself you're better this way
'Cause this hurts more than words can say
I hope you know I want to stay
I just can't keep delaying the day
That I turn and walk away
You'd be in harm's way
Just by staying close to me
And I can't bear that
So this is how it has to be
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
Tears in my eyes I hate goodbyes
If I knew it would end this way then I
Never would've said hello
Whoa
I was selfish
To think that I could have it all
I reach my arms out
But I could never stop the fall
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
This burns me, but you
Mean the world to me
Can't risk hurting you (Hurting you)
Or worse losing you (Losing you)
So I'll let go of you
Now promise you'll forget about me
I hope this finds you well
Because I'd hate to tell
You, to your face
I'm leaving and I won't come back
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
It's best that you forget about me
By the time you get your pen out
I'll be two thousand miles out
So, don't write back
Just know I won't forget about you
