Dear You
I know it’s not a name
Only words on a page
But there’s few
Who can say
They’ve done the same
It’s True
You’ll make some mistakes
That’s what they said to you
But life’s
Still boring in the news.
This retold tale has been
Told too many times
We’re still in jail
Though we didn’t do the crime
Too many promises
Of it’ll be alright
So I, try to last through my lines
Three years
Three years of blood, sweat and tears
Washed onto the page
Unknowingly blind
But I’ve learned
How to handle
The silent things
I hear from behind
This retold tale has been
Told too many times
We’re still in jail
Though we didn’t do the crime
Too many promises
Of it’ll be alright
So I, try to last through my lines
Oh who knows
Why everyone is looking at me strange
So oh who knows
Keep going and
Hope things change
This retold tale has been
Told too many times
We’re still in jail
Though we didn’t do the crime
Too many promises
Of it’ll be alright
So I, try to last through my lines
