My Letter

Let me start this by sayin'

That I'm over tryna get you back

And my college vacation

Ain't the reason that I packed your bags

And I tried and tried, and tried

And tried, and tried to tell you, girl

But time and time, and time again

I couldn't break through

So this is my letter

Now I see you're better than you ever were, whatever

I used to think that we could be forever

But the pressure started when the pleasure turned to terror

'Cause forever was a bit of a depressor

This is my letter

I kept all your letters in a sweater in my dresser

Nights I wonder whether you remember us together

I'm sorry that the pressure of forever

Turned to terror and was probably why I left you

This is my letter

I used to hide it, no feelings

'Cause I didn't wanna scare you away

But my pride was concealing

How I'd do anything to make you stay

And I tried and tried, and tried

And tried, and tried to tell you, girl

But time and time, and time again

I couldn't break through

So this is my letter

Now I see you're better than you ever were, whatever

I used to think that we could be forever

But the pressure started when the pleasure turned to terror

'Cause forever was a bit of a depressor

This is my letter

I kept all your letters in a sweater in my dresser

Nights I wonder whether you remember us together

I'm sorry that the pressure of forever

Turned to terror and was probably why I left you

This is my letter

This is my letter

I'm floating like a feather in the center of a desert

'Cause all that I remember

Is the pleasure, not the pressure

I know that your forever could be better

But we never could recover when I left you
