Ethan O'Nan - The Letters Lyrics

So many letters you sent me
Invisible words that I could clearly read
Sent through emotional envelopes
They didn't have my address, but they came straight to me

I would once respond with the greatest of kindness
I could always tell how you were, you were so legible to me
How can I help you? I just want to try.
Your only answer was, "Stay out of sight"

Close your eyes now
Don't let the drops out

I have enough concern to fill a thousand years
But my love is too much, you confirmed all my fears
How do I stand beside a friend I can't help?
I know you're not okay, it's agony not to help

Because I would once respond with the greatest of kindness
I could always tell how you were, you were so legible to me
How can I help you? I just want to try
Your only answer was, "Stay out of sight"

Close your eyes now
Don't let the drops out

Am I too much, or do you just loathe yourself?
I just wanted to show you love and stay here to help
But you chose to leave me, so I set you free.
But you kept sending signals that love is all you need

Close your eyes now
Don't let the drops out

How do I stop reading?
How do I stop caring?
I cannot stop reading
I cannot stop caring

Maybe I was too much.
Maybe I did overwhelm you
But also, consider the very real possibility that maybe it was true love
Maybe all the things I did and all the noise I made
Just came from somebody who believed that there is no such thing as loving too much
Maybe all the things I did came from someone who believed that real love is the only thing that can help this terrible, twisted world
I will always choose loving somebody too much, rather than not at all

How do I stop reading?
How do I stop caring?
I cannot stop reading
I cannot stop caring
