This is the actual letter I wrote to you
I rarely find the composure to edit my way back through
It's stuffed in my pocket and put through the washer too
And lives in my drawer, at the back with the others
Just like a brother of literature, impending doom
Born in '84 you know that I'm watching you
So I met the dead in grade 10 back when we shared a room
And you had my back, yeah, despite all the others
When you say what you're feeling
And cheapen the meaning
I could not say what it was then
Looking back I was dreaming
But I found the words
And I wrote them out
It never changed a thing
Even though I know, you know
I pulled you along in the snow back when I knew the way
Ignored all the fear just by hoping I knew what to say
You drew me a picture little sister, yeah, back in those days
You were so small but your heart was the strongest
And if I was scared little girl it was you standing tall
You had my back, yeah, despite all the others
When you say what you're feeling
And cheapen the meaning
I could not say what it was then
Looking back I was dreaming
But I found the words
And I wrote them out
It never changed a thing
Even though I know, you know
If it's getting worse and you fall apart,
It's not anything to me
It's even worse not to get a start
Like the one you gave to me
And if you're falling out
And they're not around to see
You can close your eyes,
Never say a thing
I'll understand over anything
Anything
When you say what you're feeling
And cheapen the meaning
I could not say what it was then
Looking back I was dreaming
And I found the words
And I wrote them out
It never changed a thing
Even though I know, you know
I know, you know
(Awooo)
(Awooo)
It doesn't change a thing
(Awooo)
Even though I know, you know
(Awooo)
I know you know
Even though I know, you know
(Awooo)
Even though I know, you know
(Awooo)
