Letterman

Caught in a whirlwind

Everything's caving in

Feel the need to take a break

Have another cigarette

Then it's on to the next thing

Thinking 'bout songs to sing

Looking at my guitar strings

Oh, I watched you plant it in the ground

I knew it was a bad seed

Tried to warn you, but you're so proud

So now I'm tearing up the flower bed

Can't stop seeing red

Everything you never said

Oh, now I know who's a better man

'Cause you wrote it in the letter, man

Clearly stated so I'd understand

I wasn't part of your plan

You gone cut and run, son

You were something I believed in

All the lies you disguised with your foolish grin

Made it clear that we're never gonna see you again

Look what you done

You gone cut and run

So now you're hiding in a sad song

We don't wanna sing along

The chords are bad, the words are wrong

Left alone for too long

With his moral compass spinning

He went back to the beginning

Should have known I couldn't reason

With a sheep that doesn't follow through

I'm talking to you

Now we know who's a better man

'Cause we read it in your letter, man

It said we could never understand

We weren't part of your plan

You gone cut and run, son

You were something we believed in

All the lies you disguised with your foolish grin

Made it clear that we're never gonna see you again

Look what you done

[x2]

You gone cut and run

Look what you done

You gone cut and run
