Lyrics
Got your letter
Receiving a letter
On those post-it notes
Written on post-it notes
My eyes grew wet as I read what you wrote
Emotional reaction while reading
And I cried
Expressing sadness, tears
Well
Acknowledging an attempt
At least I tried
Confirming effort
A fairy-tale from your manicured hand
Describing a story from a polished, well-groomed perspective
Your massaged heart and your spa day plan
Referring to a heart that's been cared for and a planned day of relaxation
And I cried
Expressing sadness, tears
Or
Confirming an attempt
At least I tried
Acknowledging effort
Cause oh, the tears just won't come
Unable to cry despite emotional distress
Cause oh, the tears just don't come
Continuing inability to cry despite emotional distress
Since I'm on the run
Running away from something
Chasing time
Trying to catch up with time or life
Yeh I'm on the run
Continuing to run away from a previous life
From that life
Escaping a past life
Said my goodbyes
Bidding farewell to someone or something
Dealt with the shame
Dealing with guilt or regret
Cast off the lies
Rejecting falsehoods and embracing truth
And found my true name
Discovering one's true identity or purpose
Yeh I've found my name
Confidently knowing one's identity
Just seen a picture from our present past
Reflecting on a photo from the past
It's clearer now that it could never last
Realizing that something from the past was destined not to endure
So I cry
Expressing sadness, tears
Well, at least I try
Acknowledging an attempt
I wonder now how I'd be if I'd stayed
Contemplating how life would be different if stayed in the past
The songs I'd write will now never be played
Recognizing missed opportunities due to leaving the past
So I cry
Expressing sadness, tears
Well
Confirming effort
At least I try
Acknowledging an attempt
Well oh, the tears just won't come
Unable to cry despite emotional distress
Cause oh, the tears just don't come
Continuing inability to cry despite emotional distress
Now I'm on the run
Running away from something
Chasing time
Trying to catch up with time or life
Yeh I'm on the run
Continuing to run away from a previous life
From that life
Escaping a past life
I said my goodbyes
Bidding farewell to someone or something
I dealt with the shame
Dealing with guilt or regret
I cast out the lies
Rejecting falsehoods and embracing truth
And I found my name
Discovering one's true identity or purpose
Yeh oh, yeh, here goes again
Expressing a repetitive situation or emotion
Here goes again
Reiterating the act of saying goodbye
I've said my goodbyes
Confirmed departure or farewell
