Return To Sender Lyrics

I'm buying new reasons for letting you down
Collecting good stories
When truth is around

I'm writing us letters like if we were blank
Some kind of companion
Some sort of announcement
Breaking the vow

I've had good reasons for letting you go
Us to the lions may absolve us both
Disarming implied

And if I'm not coming back to you
It's because I can't stand seeing my return
If you see I don't come back
It's because our silence faded
Over the lapse of days

I wrote a song about the devil
Now I sleep over you
Return to sender
The original failure

Even more so the clown
Always keeping you near
Therefore I'll unmask the return of allowance
Bystander of the writing of someone's novel about to end

And if I'm not coming back to you
It's because I can't stand seeing my return
If you see I don't come back
It's because our silence faded
Over the lapse of days
And if I'm not coming back
It's because our silence faded
And I can't stand my return
