Long Lost Penpal

Hello, do you remember me

I am your long lost penpal

It must've been 10 years ago we last wrote

I don't really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you are still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello, it's I remember you

I got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant, don't make fairly good money

I still have your letters

You used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

When my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes

Lie in these letters try to make life

Better than it was

I still wasn't kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn't have a single

Friend that I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I'm really a 46 years old man name Brook

I have three children

And a wife, she doesn't care

And I hope you don't play innocent me

And I hope that you don't hate me

For trying to find my way back to a search beyond

I have to admit I sometimes

Lie in these letters, try to make life

Better than it was

I still wasn't kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend
