Letter To a Friend
"It's been good. I'm alright, just been busy for a while"
I give my speech all the time to make sure you'll stay around
I always overthink everything I've said
Guess I'm better off alone that way, but
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
When you say "never mind, we can meet some other time"
Know I'll call you, I am sure, in a week a month or more
Just have to fix myself, figure out some ways
To protect you from my troubled self, but
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
Why does it take us a hundred tries
Just to get to the one that's right
And how many times do we have to rise
Before we reach our paradise
Why does it take us a hundred tries
Just to get to the one that's right
And how many times do we have to rise
Before we reach our paradise
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
I've been running from my fear
I give my speech all the time to make sure you'll stay around
I always overthink everything I've said
Guess I'm better off alone that way, but
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
When you say "never mind, we can meet some other time"
Know I'll call you, I am sure, in a week a month or more
Just have to fix myself, figure out some ways
To protect you from my troubled self, but
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
Why does it take us a hundred tries
Just to get to the one that's right
And how many times do we have to rise
Before we reach our paradise
Why does it take us a hundred tries
Just to get to the one that's right
And how many times do we have to rise
Before we reach our paradise
I have been a mess my dear
I've been telling lies
That I pretended was for real
I can be just anyone but me
I've been sleeping less my dear
I've been counting sheep
And I've been running from my fears
I can be just anywhere but here
I've been running from my fear
