This is a letter   To my former half that's better   And I know   It's such a shame   My knees get weak   Everytime we try to speak   And I wish that this could change      But I'm timid in public   I restrict my breath   Then my stomach gets sick   To be forgetable   Hell, so regretable      Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   No, I don't wanna fade into the background   No, I don't wanna be another empty voice in a crowded room   No      I get to see you   Another secret randevous   You'll never get the pain   Striving for perfection   Headed in the wrong direction   Since you cut me from your reign      But it's obscure   Still pure   Insecure was the feeling I could not conquer   Came up short   The unobtainable    Explain the unexplainable      Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   No, I don't wanna fade into the background   No, I don't wanna be another empty voice in a crowded room   Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   No, I don't wanna fade into the background   Don't let me that voice for you      But obviously   My gratitude has been on the delay   'Cause I've been waiting on all the perfect words I could say   But would you even hear me?   Inevitably   My attitude against it's right in the way   You know it's right in the way of you      This is a letter   To my former half that's better   And I know   It's such a shame   My knees get weak   Everytime we try to speak   And I wish that this could change      But I'm timid in public   I restrict my breath   Then my stomach gets sick   To be forgetable   Hell, so regretable      Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   Not the background   Don't let me be another empty voice in that crowded room      Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   Oh, not the background   Oh no, no, no, no      Well I don't   I don't wanna fade into the background   No, no, not the background   Oh, not the background of you
