When You Find This Letter lyrics

By: Crow
(Wrote this for a friend who took her life a few weeks ago. Criticism wanted. I need this song to be perfect...or somewhere close at least.)

I'm writing this to you when
on the outside, I'm alive,
But I'm still broken.
Wanna tell you that this rut I'm in
is way too deep to climb out of
Can't escape this cage of...
soft-spoken lies.

So when you find this letter
I hope that you won't cry for me.
No doubt the world would be better
Without another one.
One night left, thinking 'bout you.
Can't help but think you're not missing much.
In a world full of pain,
seems like this letter is a good goodbye for me.

It's too hard to put in words what
I'm feeling in this moment right now...
Uncertainty?
But I'll shake off these regrets and I'll
Pretend that I'm already gone
And play it off like
Someone remembers me

So when you find this letter
I hope that you won't cry for me
No doubt the world would be better
Without another one
One night left, thinking 'bout you
Can't help but think you're not missing much.
In a world full of pain,
seems like this letter is a good goodbye for me.

I know you'll tell me that it's just not right
to take this knife and end my life
But in my world there's no more light
One last chance for me tonight
I can't almost hear you screaming now
to take it back and think 'bout how
There's a solid life ahead of me
But it's too late.
I can't hear you now...

So when I found this letter
I cried aloud, 'cause you won't be
around any longer.
And there's no other one
Can't stop thinking 'bout you
and all I've lost with that one knife
In your world full of pain
This last letter is your last goodbye to me.
