Melodic power rock with a slight alt flavor
Story behind the song
Guy writes a letter to his love telling her all the things she's been waiting to hear, she has already dumped his sorry ass. He would have been fine if he'd only lived by the word in the letter.
The message here? Don't be a lazy chump! be the best you can be and you won't have to make excuses later.
Lyrics
The Letter
I sat down and wrote you a letter today
I filled it with the things that I didn¡¦t have the nerve to say
I tried to keep it brief but the words rambled on and on
It seems I¡¦ve found out what to say now that you¡¦re gone
Chorus:
I tried, to keep an open mind
But I lied, to myself about who I thought I was
We could have made things better
Better late than never
If I¡¦d only lived by the words in the letter
I couldn¡¦t be everything that you thought you¡¦d need
Instead I was honest and what I gave you was me
I¡¦m sorry if what I had to offer wasn¡¦t good enough for you
I¡¦d like to see the tables turned
So I could see just what you would do
Chorus:
I tried, to keep an open mind
But I lied, to myself about who I thought I was
We could have made things better
Better late than never
If I¡¦d only lived by the words in the letter
Bridge
Looking back, I think I can see where we went wrong
It was somewhere between the start and the day
We found out that the trust that we had was gone
Solo
Chorus:
I tried, to keep an open mind
But I lied, to myself about who I thought I was
We could have made things better
Better late than never
If I¡¦d only lived by the words in the letter
Chorus:
I tried, to keep an open mind
But I lied, to myself about who I thought I was
We could have made things better
Better late than never
If I¡¦d only lived by the words in the letter
