I wrote you a letter
But I couldn’t afford any stamps
I called you on the phone
But your number was disconnected
I sent you an email
But I got the address wrong
Now I have this list of things to say
But no way of telling you
Because theres this growing distance
Thriving between me and you
And for every forward step I take
I’m falling back another three
I won’t give up
I swear I’ll always try
But what if theres nothing else I can do
