[Intro]
Dear Merriet, When I was a young boy, I used to think about how I would die
And the scenario always played out the same:
Lonely, alone, and with no money
So it looks like for once, I've done something right
[Verse 1]
I crept inside your head but I can't pretend I know a single thing about what you've been feeling
A heavy burden to withhold, take my word a tortured soul's not a secret worth keeping
The sum of all fears closing in over these last few years
It pulls you under, so much deeper than I can venture
The light you knew, overcome with black and blue
Become the light, see me through
[Chorus]
So I'm writing songs, staying strong
Call me back, it's been so long
[Verse 2]
Like a falling tide I recede to the void and belong
Until the better half of my indifference proves me wrong
Scars heal in time but I'm bleeding inside
If I'm honest you haven't left me very hopeful
But I hope you're wrong
And I promise agony won't be the only voice I carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me back, it's been so long
[Chorus]
So I'm writing songs, staying strong
Call me back, it's been so long
Life just like you always said
“If it can it will go wrong”
[Bridge]
Writing songs, staying strong
Off the ropes I'm already gone
Always falling could you call me back it's been so long
[Chorus]
I'm writing songs, staying strong
Call me back, it's been so long
Life just like you always said
“If it can it will go wrong”
[Outro]
I crept inside your head
But I can't pretend I know a single thing
About what you've been feeling
