Lyrics for “Undelivered Letters”

1. Au Revoir (Billet-doux)

Au revoir, mon amie
Adieu, ma jolie
I'm sorry that endings are more bitter than sweet

S'vous plais
Don't be that way
When I love you in vain
It's not right
To always be on my mind
With no reply

Cause I thought maybe, maybe you'd stay
Cause I thought I maybe, maybe I'd changed
But things they still don't go my way
So I guess that I've got nothing left to say

Valentine
I'm not mine
I haven't been for weeks
But don't you fret
No one regrets
Hurting something like me

Goodbye My love
Farewell my dear
I'm not exception to the rule
Yes love's still always cruel

But I thought maybe maybe I'd changed
So I thought maybe, maybe you'd stay
But things they never go my way
So I guess I've got nothing left to say

So drown my lovesick hearts in good-byes, goodbyes
Oh drown this lovesick heart in good-byes
Sweet goodbyes, oh goodbye, drown my lovesick hearts in good-byes

Au reuvior, mon amie
Adieu, ma jolie
I can only hope you never really cared for me
Oh yes, I'm sorry I'm more bitter than I'm sweet
Oh yes, I'm sorry I'm more bitter than I'm sweet

2. Clash & Dissonance

I'm wearing blacks tights with my brown shoes
And even my piano is sounding out of tune with you
I'm the dissonance in all your pretty harmony
I didn't mean to bother you; I just wanna sing along with somebody

I'm just the wrong color for your world
I'm the wrong color for this world
And so I clash, clash

I'm just a piece without a puzzle to complete
I'm just a key but I don't unlock anything
I'm the dissonance in all your pretty harmony
I didn't mean to bother you; I just wanna sing along with somebody
I'm sorry to bother you but I just wanna sing along with somebody

I'm just the wrong color for your world
I'm the wrong color for this world
And so I clash, clash

We're not opposites cause black and white complete each other
And you're messing up all my lovely technicolor
You're not singing in my key
No you're doing something else entirely
You're the dissonance in all my precious harmony
Please don't bother me I don't want to sing along with anybody
And if that's how its gonna be I don't want to sing along with anybody

I'm just the wrong color for your world
And you're the wrong color for my world
And we clash. clash. We clash.

I'll go out and stay there
I don't care if its cold I don't wan to be stuck in here
I was wrong; I am everything that you hate
You were wrong; I'm everything you should hate
I'll walk out and walk on and I won't look back
Cause you won't waving or saying goodbye
No, you won't say goodbye.
I'm sorry I'm just the wrong color for your world, oh goodbye.
I'm sorry I'm just the wrong color for this whole world. For this whole world.

3. Into Denial

Thunderstruck, oh isn't that just my luck
To be in love on a bad day

Black and blue, black and blue over you
"Sold my heart for endless rue"

Oh No
Don't you go making me crazy
Don't you go making me cry

Do I show signs of withdrawal from reality?
Well I warned you I'm prone to episodes of insanity.

So close the door and call me cursed
I don't care I've weathered worse

Oh no,
I swear I didn't mean to go psycho
I swear I didn't mean to get lost

You can lie; It's true
That everyone hears what they to.
Everyone goes into denial
Every once in a while
So let me believe in you
Let me believe in you
Oh you gotta let me believe in you.
Let me believe in you.

4. Handwritten Notes

Rain clouds
Blocking my sun
But that's alright
Sun's not what I wanted
Just you here or me there
And a conversation
Of all we missed since I left home

Cause who cares if rains
If we're dancing anyway
And who minds the clouds
If we're singing and smiling and laughing out loud.

Lonely
Since I've been gone
But not too sad
Cause I keep thinking of
Some silver shade
And cool lemonade
And your sweet eyes
Coming up to meet mine

Cause who cares if rains
If we're dancing anyway
And who minds the clouds
If we're singing and smiling and laughing out loud.

You know
So don't tease me so
Won't you come to
And see which way up
And we'll go there
And we'll go there

Cause who cares if rains
If we're dancing anyway
And who minds the clouds
If we're singing and smiling and laughing out loud.

Handwritten notes
Tell me not to forget you don't I won't

5. Anymore

Whispered I loved you, to the wind last night
And hoped the breeze might catch your ear
The pearly stars scattered across the sky
Illuminating my hopes, my tears, my fears,

My tears, but what do I cry for?
My hope, but what do I dream of?
My love, but who's that, who's that?
I know it's not you anymore, anymore, anymore

I sang my love songs for the birds today
So they could sing it back to you so far away from me
I wrote my letters on the autumn leaves
So they'd be blown up on your doorstep every morning

My poems, but what do they speak of?
My heart, but what does it beat for?
My love, but who's that, who's that?
Cause I know it's not you anymore, anymore, anymore
Least I hope it's not you anymore, anymore, anymore

I still see the you and me in everything
I still see the you and me in everything

6. Perdition

Petal picking, I'm wasting away
And I'm no quite who I was yesterday
No, I've fallen past reality
Past ground and all my sanity

Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee, I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on and on and on
Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee, I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on.

Jumbled words I try to rhyme
Can hardly be more than a whine
Oh all these love song I strain to sing
I know they're not worth anything

Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on and on and on
Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on.

If you don't care, feels like no one cares
Oh I am no one, baby, I'm a ghost I swear

If you don't need me, I'm useless to everyone
If you don't love me, feels like no body does, well no body does

Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on and on and on
Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee I do love thee
Oh well it's my own fault I let it go on.

Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I can't write love songs
I mix up all my metaphors

Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm good at being heartbroken
But I'm no good at being in love

7. Lost Cause

Why, why, why'd
You let this baby cry?
Don't, don't, don't
Let your baby go.

Rain, rain, rain
Call me by my name.
Wash away this
Pain, pain, pain.

Then beautiful darkness covers up my mistakes
But the daylight will show them; I'll be looking for grace.

Past, past, past,
The memory is mine.
Time, time, time
To let the bitter die.

Hope, hope, hope
How I've let it get away.
Lost, lost, lost
So much harder than I thought.

But beautiful darkness covers up my mistakes
But the daylight will show them; I'll be looking for grace.
Yeah this beautiful darkness covers up my mistakes
But the daylight will show them; I'll be looking for grace.

Well, I lost my cause
Or was it lost before now
I've been undone
Untied the last strands myself
I lost my cause
Or was it lost before now
Well, I've been undone
Untied the last strands myself

Then beautiful darkness covers up my mistakes
But the daylight will show them; I'll be looking for grace
I'll be looking for grace, grace, grace

Why, why, why'd
You let this baby go?
Oh, please, please, please
Please don't let me cry
