Just yesterday I saw my own death in a dream
Life's never quite as bad or good as it might seem
I don't want anyone pretending that they care
I don't remember seeing any of you there

Something I tried writing down
First in pencil, then in pen
Something I cried hard about
You don't understand me then
Somehow I can't write it out
With a pencil or a pen

Read my letters
Leave my answers alone

Sometimes I try to write out good things that I see
The way they sound, there's no way you'd believe it's me
I'm always never very understood so well
But when I'm hiding something, everyone can tell

Something I tried writing down
First in pencil, then in pen
Something I cried hard about
But you don't understand me then
Somehow I can't write it out
With a pencil or a pen
Read my letters
Leave my answers alone

[Guitar solo]

I dread these days when nothing I can do is fun
I count my choices up and there's exactly none

Read my letters
Leave my answers alone
