Read a letter from you today,
In short it said that you've been so far away,
It said where you've been, what's been on your mind,
It makes you feel so much better when there's something to hide,
You're shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Move on from there, get up and go on,
Wait any longer you'll be stuck where you are,
Leave all your things, clean up your face,
The scars of the past are the dust that remain in the way,
Stop shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

How could it be that you sunk down so low?
Word around town is you got no place to go,
Your story's got a crack and you got no one to follow,
I couldn't care less,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Cry to yourself about it,
Drive all your friends insane,
You failed to prove your story,
I will forget your name.
