(verse 1)

Try to talk to you
Get so nervous next day i don’t know you
Then i say hi in the hallways
But we always seem to forget our names
We have some similarities
We’re not perfect but we’re free
The differences aren't that big
Rough lives but we fit in
The only thing i can say
Is we got each other
Be best friends
But i’m not your lover
Flip that switch
See it all
See how i care
But you don’t at all
It doesn't bother me
I don’t expect it
But i know we got it

(pre-chorus)

You told me to prove it to you
You told me to remind you
You told me to show you
And this is what i will do

(chorus)

You told me to write those letters
I said no
You said i should
I said i know
But i got better plans
You told me to show it
And that’s what i’m doing
You try to make it
Like what i’m showing
So let’s write them letters
Writing them letters
But i got something better

(verse 2)

If i fall down
Laying on the ground
You stick your hand out
And you try to help me up
You did not have to
But you wanted to
Everyone pushing you away from me
Go play tag with all your buddies
I don’t want you to care much
Go over there and lik em’ a lot
But i’m not making you
No not making you choose
I just wish you had it in your mind
That i wanted to say this for a long time

(pre-chorus)

You told me to prove it to you
You told me to remind you
You told me to show you
And this is what i will do

(chorus)

You told me to write those letters
I said no
You said i should
I said i know
But i got better plans
You told me to show it
And that’s what i’m doing
You try to make it
Like what i’m showing
So let’s write them letters
Writing them letters
But i got something better

(verse 3)

You ask and wonder about someone else
I understand as long as you're happy
I will push myself aside
To make you feel alright
That’s how i feel all my emotions
I would ask you but i’m losing this devotion
If only i had a mind
To help me through this time
And tell you all the things wish i said
Taken you before anyone else did
But fixed it
And you missed it
And i’m listening

(chorus)

You told me to write those letters
I said no
You said i should
I said i know
But i got better plans
You told me to show it
And that’s what i’m doing
You try to make it
Like what i’m showing
So let’s write them letters
Writing them letters
But i got something better
You told me to write those letters
I said no
You said i should
I said i know
But i got better plans
You told me to show it
And that’s what i’m doing
You try to make it
Like what i’m showing
So let’s write them letters
Writing them letters
But i got something better

(ending)

Writing letters
I got something better
Let’s sing a song
About my heart along
It has some scars
But i let them fade away
I let you see my face
You wanted to know this
You wanted me to show
So i made it so much better
And now you know
