dear mr. gepetto: i hope this finds you well  i wrote you this letter  because we miss you here in hell    well now i know it's hard when you don't know what to think  and every single smile us a foil and 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?  you sing that same song  and everybody smiles but they'll never get along    i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying to let go:   but everybody's going down tonight    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 you so you 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    come clean  no one should have have to live with the things you've seen  but you're living anyway  so can't 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 life that was more   than a chore and just doing what i need to get by  i don't care if you leave or stay  but you 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 would 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    i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying to let go:   but everybody's going down tonight    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 you so you 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    this has been the best night of my life  this has been the best night of my life  i could have lost my life  and i would have lost my mind  but now i'm fine  and i find  that this has been the best night of my life   this has been the best night of my life  (i still can't believe they had the heart to apologize)  this has been the best night of my life  (i still can't believe they had the heart to apologize)  i could have lost my life  and i would have lost my mind  but now i'm fine  and i find  that this has been the best night of my life     and as the day fades  no one investigates  nobody answers as she calls his name  another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave  i want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault    na na na...    and as the day fades  no one investigates  nobody answers as she calls his name  another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave  i want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault    na na na...  it's not your fault    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 you so you 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    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 know i've done something wrong  all i know now is i got to do something right
