I wanna show you this song

Hey..

Just cus I miss you so darn bad, thought I'd say hey.

Ummm mr don't know if you ever listened to Band of Horses... But theres this song. I like it. This would be the sort of song I'd come home and say hey mr listen to this one. Tell me everything. Tell me what you think. Like it? And you might like it or might not... I could never pick out your tastes, but you'd at least always talk to me about it. You'd listen to me say oh I like this guitar riff here, or this harmony in the chord progression, see listen.... Or something like that - and if you liked it I'd feel happy that I picked out a song you liked. You always had the coolest tastes. But anyway... I like this song. Way simple and amateur so then the emphasis is on the melody... You might say, ummm well it's a little repetitive in the guitar part... I don't know. I just like the chorus part... The "no one... Is ever gonna love you more than I do" part. And that pretty cute little part at the end in the geetar. Anyway, I don't know if you know how much easier that would make by day, to know I could go home and show you all the tunes I was listening to at this place this under my fingernails nerve grating place, in the chaos and confusion of my life where I just want to be a good girl, and it just seems like I can't, and I'm tired, and I'm scared, and I could go home and get a squeeze from a friend who understands. It would make everything just make a little bit more sense. And I don't know if I even valued it enough when you were here. Silly me. What am I missing out on now while I'm hiding trying to figure out what I can do to make it back to unconscious sleep... Maybe this antidepressant will work, maybe this workout will do the trick, maybe this plan will, oh fuck it - I can't get away - I like myself a lot more with a little vodka in my system... Oh mr. today will be a hard day. I am trying... Trying to be at peace, trying to see the truth, trying to love... It's just hard. I guess it's not supposed to be easy to keep yourself together. I wish you were here friend. I know you are, just in a different sort of way, and I just wish I didn't feel so lost, flailing around - I know where the truth is, but how am I supposed to stay there, I have to take care of all this stuff... Oh well. I'll be strong. Part of the reason why is cus of you. Cus I hear your voice in my head telling me, you can do it, you're a strong girl. So thanks friend.

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It is a better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

and no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.

Do anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
Don't ever want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

And no one
is ever gonna love you more than I do
no one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard
