The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out / Screws Falls Out

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast

And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last

You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights

With the strongest drinks and longest lines

It's not that big a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in you

I'll let you know I will

You said the hole in your head

Has gotten bigger than the hole in your chest

And you're stuck between the past and present tense

You said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies

With stronger drinks and longer lines

It's not that big a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in you

I'll let you I will

I'll let you I will

I'll let you I will, but sometimes...

You gotta let it go!

Gotta let it go!

So this pen, is starting to become

A pipe bomb and these songs

Have turned to anthems again

To everything that's changed

And to everything that's gone away, here's my condolences

To the future I never met

It's gone and never coming back, it's not coming back

So don't hold on to your past

You gotta let it go!

Gotta let it go!

'Cause friends leave as time fades away

The people and the places along the way

Without a doubt

Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out

Tomorrow's gone up in smoke

And I wonder when I'm alone

Where'd my convictions go?

So, to everyone that's gone away

Or fades away, or stays the same, here's my apologies

To the person that I used to be

Before I burned down every bridge and every inch

Of everything I used to know

I gotta let it go!

Gotta let it go!

'Cause friends leave as time fades away

The people and the places along the way

Without a doubt

Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out

Friends leave as time fades away

The people and the places along the way

So don't hold onto your past

No, it's never coming back

(You gotta let it go!) friends leave as time fades away

(Gotta let it go!) the people and the places along the way

Friends leave as time fades away

The people and the places along the way

Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out

Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out

Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out

Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out

Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in, and screws, they fall out
