There's truth in every word I write Not all those words are true
An open book with invisible ink I'm always hiding something from you
I wonder what you'd think of me if you only knew
I'm permeated by a darkness I only let the light shine through
Hello old friend It's good to see you again
You're sounding good, you know Your petty envy barely shows
I doubt you can trust this song My words might be a lie
Designed to gain your sympathy or assuage the guilt inside
I know life's been surveyed by those greater than I
Now fake self-deprecation what's worth my try
Hello new friend It's good to see you again
I got the message that you sent I know I'm not that different
Hello new friend Will I ever see you again
I wish you could have heard your song Before I made it all go wrong
