Dear

Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well

I wrote this letter

'cause we miss you here in hell

And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think

And every single smile is a thorn when you're waking up

You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the

things you try to do

Well I don't care if you sink or swim

And I don't care how you hold it in

As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with

And 9 times out of 10 you might be right

But what about that time you know you're wrong?

Keep singing that same song

And everybody smiles but they'll never get along

XX XX X X X X X

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:

But everybody's going down tonight

Chorus

We are the few that won't say nothing right

We are the footsteps fading into the night

Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:

I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this

But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it

And I don't know where we went wrong

All i know now is i got to do something right

So come clean

No one should have have to live with the things you've seen

But you're living anyway

Well I stop the car and put her in park

And I step outside (god I hate this part)

When I see what I saw what I thought was a lie; it was more

Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get-

I don't care if you leave or stay

But we might as well split

Because it's not the same as it was

When we said our last goodbye

And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would

Pass away because it'd be much easier then

We could all get together and think about when

We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love

And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:

But everybody's going down tonight

This has been the best night of my life ___X2___

I could've lost my life

And I would've lost my mind

But now I'm fine and I find

That this has been the best night of my-

I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize _|

I could've lost my life

And I would've lost my mind

But now I'm fine and I find

That this has been the best night of my-

Bridge

And as the day fades no one investigates

Nobody answers when she calls his name

Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave

[one strum]

I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault

Na na na...

Bridge

Na na na...

It's not your fault
