[Verse 1]

I’ve got a stack of letters, stamped and addressed

Piled up by the side of my bed

I didn’t forget to send them, I’m just hesitating

They’ve been sitting there for years, ready and waiting

[Chorus]

I’m kinda hoping that it’s all just in my mind

You don’t really wanna shut me out of your life

But maybe you’re better off without me by your side

So those handwritten letters will keep being pushed aside

[Verse 2]

It looks like I’m the one, who’s avoiding you

My apology’s long overdue

I’m saying it now, sorry for the neglect

But you’re not really the one I’ve been trying to protect

[Bridge]

I shouldn’t have let it rot away in head

I think it’s the reason sometimes I can’t get out of bed

I shouldn’t have let it rot away in my head

And now it’s starting to consume me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Did you know missing you’s the reason I cry myself to sleep at night?

But you’re probably sick of having to deal with me

So I’ll cut this short, try to sum my feelings up

You might not feel the same way, but I’ll still write songs about you

[Chorus]

I guess it really is just all in my mind

I’m the one who’s shutting you out of my life

But you have other friends, I’ve only got one more to speak of

I’m always gonna feel like I’m dragging you down

And those handwritten letters will keep being pushed aside
