The Letter

Seventeen nights and fourteen days I spent time in a hollow cave on the lower east sideå?¼he lower east side A long way back to your front door I stepped inside And on the floor was a letterå? ust a letter With my hands all wet I slowly bent Had this twisted feeling inside my head I didnæ?° tell herå? here I was going I never quite remember why I do the things I do When Iæ?¦ sick and tired å? or myself Sheæ?¯ the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind You want to take a bite But then you spit it outå?¢ spit it out again On a solitary chair she placed in the corner If I gather up the strength and get a little bolder Will I open up? Iæ?³e got to open up å?¼his letter Chorus Free me. Itæ?¯ not worth dying for. If I gave a little more would this be fine? Tell me. What am I trying for? Youæ?³e already slammed the door and left me behind. After counting all the words I felt your pain But I had to sit down and read it again To let it sink in. Did it sink in å? t all? Itæ?¯ hard to hold back this raging desire to light it all up And sit by the fire and watch it burnå? ut now the tables turn The only way back to the way it began Is to take another look and try to understand See it through your eyeså?¬ow I realize Yeahå?¶eahå?¶eahå?¶eah (Chorus) Itæ?¯ been seventeen nights and fourteen days that Iæ?³e been alone So I thought Iæ? write you a letter Just a letter
