We Are The Few Lyrics & Chords By Streetlight Manifesto

Dear Mr. Geppetto,
I hope this finds you well.
I wrote you this letter,
'Cause we miss you here in hell.
Wel, l know I know it's hard when you don't know what to think
And every single smile us a foil and you're waking up,
You might try but you won't get by
Until you're crucified for all the things you try to do.
Well, I don't care if you sink or swim,
And I don't care how you hold it in
As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with.
And nine times out of ten you might be right,
But what about that time you know you're wrong?
You sing that same song
And everybody smiles, but they'll never get along.
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go,
But everybody's going down tonight.
We are the few that won't say nothing right,
We are the footsteps fading into the night.
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this,
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it.
I don't know where we went wrong,
All I know is I got to do something right.
So come clean,
No one should have to live with the things you've seen
But you're living anyway.
Well, stop the car and put her in park,
And I step outside, God, I hate this part,
When I see what I saw, what I thought was a life that was more
Than a chore and just doing what I need to get by.
I don't care if you leave or stay,
But you might as well split
Because it's not the same as it was
When you said our last goodbye.
And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would pass away,
Because it'd be much easier then,
We would all get together and think about when
We were young, we were dumb, we were numb but in love,
And I'm done, so I'm sending out this letter today.
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go,
But everybody's going down tonight.
We are the few that won't say nothing right,
We are the footsteps fading into the night.
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this,
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it.
I don't know where we went wrong,
All I know is I got to do something right.
This has been the best night of my life.
This has been the best night of my life.
I could have lost my life,
And I would have lost my mind
But now I'm fine.
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life.
This has been the best night of my life,
I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize.
This has been the best night of my life,
I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize.
I could have lost my life,
And I would have lost my mind
But now I'm fine.
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life.
And as the day fades
No one investigates,
Nobody answers when she calls his name.
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave.
I want to hold her and tell her: "it's not your fault".
And as the day fades
No one investigates
Nobody answers as she calls his name.
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave,
I want to hold her and tell her: "it's not your fault".
It's not your fault.
We are the few that won't say nothing right,
We are the footsteps fading into the night.
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this,
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it.
I don't know where we went wrong,
All I know is I got to do something right.
We are the few that won't say nothing right,
We are the footsteps fading into the night.
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this,
But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it.
And I know I've done something wrong,
All I know is I gotta do something right.
