Dear Me

(album: Silver Linings - 2020)

Dear me, I confess. Most days I'm a mess
I still act like I'm with it
But I'm all out of one more shots to give
They don't know about me or what's inside my head
But in the end, it's me alone
Staring at my phone

How did it get so bad?
And does it sound crazy that I'd ask?
I really wanna know when it took its toll

Dear me, I'm not content
All these years and my nerves are spent
And I've tried to be patient
But why does it seem like I'll never make it?
Maybe I resent all the time in life I spent
Staring at this phone, feeling so alone

How did it get so bad?
And does it sound crazy that I'd ask
I really wanna know when it took its toll
How did it get so bad?
I know it sounds crazy that I'd ask
I really hope you know what's good for your soul

Maybe we'll go on to be "good for now"
It's better than being nowhere nowhere at all

Dear me, I'll be fine
It's hard to leave what you love behind
Sometimes you know it's time to go

How did it get so bad?
And does it sound crazy that I'd ask
I really wanna know when it took its toll
How did it get so bad?
I know it sounds crazy that I'd ask
I really hope you know what's good for your soul
Good for your soul
