Lyrics
People think they want to be like me
Expressing that people desire to emulate the speaker.
I open up your letter and I cry as I read
Receiving emotional letters that evoke tears while reading.
All the choices that I make are wrong
Admitting a pattern of making wrong choices in life.
And I only make sense when I'm writing another song
Feeling a sense of coherence and purpose only during songwriting.
Well It's funny to joke about but it happens all the time
Reflecting on the irony of joking about struggles that are common.
You write me love letters but know nothing about my life
Highlighting the disparity between received love letters and understanding of the speaker's life.
No one should worship me I only want to please
Rejecting the idea of being idolized and emphasizing the desire to bring joy.
And I could scream for help but everyone I love would leave
Expressing reluctance to seek help, fearing that loved ones might leave.
So I put a bow on top I don't know what else I can do
Using a metaphorical bow to symbolize efforts to present oneself positively.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Encouraging the continuation of writing love letters.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Reiterating the importance of persistently expressing emotions through writing.
And I'll keep writing too
Commitment to continue writing love letters despite challenges.
Of course I feel guilty and ashamed
Admitting feelings of guilt and shame about personal actions.
If you all saw me in person you would amazed
Suggesting a contrast between public perception and the speaker's true self.
Cause I'm no different than anyone else on this earth
Affirming shared humanity with others on Earth.
The only thing I have is writing these feelings first
Emphasizing the therapeutic value of expressing emotions through writing.
Well It's funny to joke about but it happens all the time
Reiterating the commonality of joking about personal struggles.
You write me love letters but know nothing about my life
Repeating the theme of love letters lacking understanding of the speaker's life.
No one should worship me I only want to please
Rejecting the idea of being worshipped and emphasizing the desire to bring joy.
And I could scream for help but everyone I love would leave
Expressing fear of potential consequences if help is sought.
So I put a bow on top I don't know what else I can do
Using a metaphorical bow to symbolize efforts to present oneself positively.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Encouraging the persistent act of writing love letters for therapeutic purposes.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Reiterating the importance of persistently expressing emotions through writing.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Further emphasizing the value of consistently writing love letters.
Keep writing keep writing love letters
Continuing to stress the significance of expressing emotions through writing.
And I'll keep writing too
Reaffirming the commitment to continue writing love letters despite challenges.
