I read your letter from before You’ve been having so much fun Is it possible you’re just telling me To draw me in? There’s an array of douchebags lining up To play their stupid parts And did you ever pause Before you give your love away?

This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life

And when you came to me that summer You were just a shell You were holding close to mother She was ashen with the strain And there was miles to go yet Miles to build that Sister loving bond And then I figured that the music Set your soul ablaze

And it’s probably not suprising That you’re burning through the days And if I had a second encore I would probably do the same And if the intimacy ever stops I’ll miss your stories Miss your letters Every awkward fumble should be framed

Strange days Poison characters My particular haze Please send…

Enjoy the fervour of your love life Cause it doesn’t last And with a suddenness that is cruel Everything can go to hell But then you find a new path Leave the old path Leave the games behind And on a morning climb you see the grime And feel amazed

I know you felt you gave your best But it was never going to do There’s always going to be a younger Hungry idol coming through I know it wasn’t thrilling Just like living You and me could talk like kissing Every conversation was divine

This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life
