It was 10 years ago
so why can't I let go
it was a childhood dream
and empty thing and it's gone now
I should know better
I should rip up your letters
I shouldn't answer the phone when you call
but you're so selfish
and I need to hear about all the drama with you

everything I do
everything I said was a lie
I was never ready for you
to love me leave me or be my friend
I found your doppleganger in the woods
took him in fed him bathed him
let him climb into my heart
and he was you redux from the start

I should've known better
he never even wrote me a single goddamn letter
I should've known
he'd break my heart
from the start
