Dear

 Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well

 I wrote this letter

 'cause we miss you here in hell

 And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think

 And every single smile is a thorn when you're waking up

You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the

things you try to do

 Well I don't care if you sink or swim

 And I don't care how you hold it in

 As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with

 And 9 times out of 10 you might be right

But what about that time you know you're wrong?

Keep singing that same song

 And everybody smiles but they'll never get along

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:

But everybody's going down tonight

Chorus

We are the few that won't say nothing right

We are the footsteps fading into the night

  Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:

I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this

But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it

 And I don't know where we went wrong

All i know now is i got to do something right

So come clean

No one should have have to live with the things you've seen

 But you're living anyway

 Well I stop the car and put her in park

 And I step outside (god I hate this part)

 When I see what I saw what I thought was a lie; it was more

 Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get-

I don't care if you leave or stay

 But we might as well split

 Because it's not the same as it was

 When we said our last goodbye

 And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would

Pass away because it'd be much easier then

 We could all get together and think about when

 We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love

 And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today

This has been the best night of my life ___X2___

 I could've lost my life

 And I would've lost my mind

 But now I'm fine and I find

And as the day fades no one investigates

Nobody answers when she calls his name

Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave

[one strum]

I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault

Na na na...

Bridge

Na na na...

It's not your fault
