CI found a letter that Gsaid:

 "I'm sorry that Cyou were asleep when I Gwrote these words down,"

CYou'd think I'd ought to be Gused to that by Cnow. G

CSave for a few of those Glate night episodes,

CMissed opportunities, Gand "I Don't Cares,"

CThere's not a lot that I Gfeel obliged to share Cor Gtalk about.

CI'll have my brother stop Gby this Saturday to Cpick up my things,

 Just make Gsure you're not there.

CThis may sound bad, and don't Gtake it the wrong Cway..

GI love you, however,

FYou hold me down X4

 You're the Greason why I Amburst and Fwhy I bloom.

How will I break the news to you? X2

Repeat Above!

Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline,

feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean.

We'll talk it over after I've had some time alone to sort it out.

You hold me down x4

You're the echoes of my everything,

You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.

You're the laziness of afternoon,

You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom.

You're the leaky sink of sentiment,

You're the failed attempts I never could forget.

You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love..

How will I break the news to you? x5
