Return To Sender

I'm buying new reasons for letting you down Collecting good stories When truth is around I'm writing us letters like if we were blank Some kind of companion Some sort of announcement Breaking the vow I've had good reasons for letting you go Us to the lions may absolve us both Disarming implied And if I'm not coming back to you It's because I can't stand seeing my return If you see I don't come back It's because our silence faded Over the lapse of days I wrote a song about the devil Now I sleep over you Return to sender The original failure Even more so the clown Always keeping you near Therefore I'll unmask the return of allowance Bystander of the writing of someone's novel about to end And if I'm not coming back to you It's because I can't stand seeing my return If you see I don't come back It's because our silence faded Over the lapse of days And if I'm not coming back It's because our silence faded And I can't stand my return
