The Letter - Royal Tusk

This is the actual letter I wrote to you

I rarely find the composure to edit my way back through

It’s stuffed in my pocket and put through the washer too

And lives in my drawer, at the back with the others

Just like a brother of literature, impending doom

Born in '84 you know that I’m watching you

So I met the dead in grade 10 back when we shared a room

And you had my back, yeah, despite all the others

When you say what you’re feeling

And cheapen the meaning

I could not say what it was then

Looking back I was dreaming

But I found the words

And I wrote them out

It never changed a thing

Even though I know, you know

I pulled you along in the snow back when I knew the way

Ignored all the fear just by hoping I knew what to say

You drew me a picture little sister, yeah, back in those days

You were so small but your heart was the strongest

And if I was scared little girl it was you standing tall

You had my back, yeah, despite all the others

When you say what you’re feeling

And cheapen the meaning

I could not say what it was then

Looking back I was dreaming

But I found the words

And I wrote them out

It never changed a thing

Even though I know, you know

If it’s getting worse and you fall apart

It’s not anything to me

It’s even worse not to get a start

Like the one you gave to me

And if you’re falling out

And they’re not around to see

You can close your eyes

Never say a thing

I’ll understand over anything

Anything

When you say what you’re feeling

And cheapen the meaning

I could not say what it was then

Looking back I was dreaming

And I found the words

And I wrote them out

It never changed a thing

Even though I know, you know

I know, you know

It doesn’t change a thing

Even though I know, you know

I know you know

Even though I know, you know

Even though I know, you know
