Salt Over Shoulder - Love Letters Lyrics

Rereading love letters I was too sober to send
How envious of my past I am 'cause I got to call you my friend
I wrote with such optimism and passion about our future
That would be the song of our finale, I thought I was writing the overture

The worse part is I don't know what I'm doing wrong
But it's everyone who's leaving so I know it's my fault
But making others happy is what makes me happy
And if I can't do that I'm worthless

This isn't fair I wasn't supposed to be here
I shouldn't have woken up and you shouldn't have cared
When I said goodbye you were supposed to stand there
Weren't supposed to hug me
Didn't expect you to
This isn't fair I wasn't supposed to be here
I shouldn't have woken up and you shouldn't have cared
When I said goodbye you were supposed to stand there
Weren't supposed to hug me
Didn't expect you to cry

People always write songs to their past selves
Saying to stay strong because the beauty ahead
But if I talked to me even just a year ago
I'd tell him to end it 'cause you don't know the hell
The girl you love leaves you for someone who hates her guts
The people you trust leave you feeling hopeless
And the person you're moving for
Who you end up homeless for
Doesn't care about you and you don't talk anymore

And all you ever did was love all of them
And you shouldn't be punished for that
So, on your way to Denver
When the voices start talking
It's best to just give in
And crash

This isn't fair I wasn't supposed to be here
I shouldn't have woken up and you shouldn't have cared
When I said goodbye you were supposed to stand there
Weren't supposed to hug me
Didn't expect you to
This isn't fair I wasn't supposed to be here
I shouldn't have woken up and you shouldn't have cared
When I said goodbye you were supposed to stand there
Weren't supposed to hug me
Didn't expect you to cry
