1st Verse: (intro riff)

Dear Claudia,

you should try not to sleep with your best friend's boyfriend

 You've come so far since that time when you let

 your first boy in

 And you do it so carelessly,

as if you had no self esteem

A victim of apathy

 but you don't care what people say about you

Pre-chorus

I will let you in before you break yourself

Chorus

(intro riff)

It's true that you like to sleep around,

enjoy it with your backside on the ground

but you should know that it's not your fault

 your father killed himself

2nd Verse: (intro riff, transitional riff)

Dear Claudia,

you leave pieces of you in each bed you lay in

and when you're done

there will be somebody else wearing your skin

 And you do it so carelessly,

as if you had no self esteem

A victim of apathy

 but you don't care what people say about you

Pre-chorus

I will let you in before you break yourself

Chorus

It's true that you like to sleep around

enjoy it with your backside on the ground

but you should know that it's not your fault

 your father killed himself

Bridge

I will lay your fears right here next to mine

and when we close our eyes, we'll be entwined

Extended 3rd Verse: (intro riff, transitional riff)

Dear Claudia,

you should try not to sleep with your best friend's boyfriend

 You've come so far since that time when you let

 your first boy in

 And you do it so carelessly

 as if you had no self esteem

A victim of apathy

 but you don't care what people say about you

Little Claudia,

you must find another way

You must forgive yourself

cause it's not your fault I killed my--

Pre-chorus

I will let you in before you break yourself

Chorus/Outro:

It's true that you like to sleep around

enjoy it with your backside on the ground

but you should know that it's not your fault

 your father killed himself

Little Claudia,

I will forgive you
