LYRICS
I'm not proud
There's more than just a few things I won't do.
This is a letter to the thoughts and things I have to say to you.

To whom it may concern: I'm sorry.
If you get this note, I hope you're well.
I haven't been the best of anything, 
but you're the only person I could tell.

So what's next?
'Cause I don't have the guts to spit this out.
Of course I'm A-okay with being friends,
just not the sorts of friends you're talking about.

'Cause indirect exposure hasn't worked.
I don't like being blunt, but here we are.
It's just that I'm a coward keeping bets;
I've forced this hand a thousand times before.

'Cause what you see is all you'd ever get;
I don't get better with the changing of the tides
I don't like it much - I wish I could, but I'm stuck with this lonely heart of mine.

I tried my best; I fell in love with falling out of place.
But I won't settle, and in return I won't make you wait.

If things change, I promise I'll be better at saying no.
So this is sincerely, write back soon, but for now, just let me go.
