We Are the Few

Streetlight Manifesto

Dear Mr. Gepetto, 
I hope this finds you well 
I wrote you this letter 
Because we miss you here in hell 

And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think 
And every single smile us a foil and you're waking up 
You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the things You try to do 
Well I don't care if you sink or swim 
And i don't care how you hold it in 
As long as you don't bother me with all the things i don't bother you with 
And nine times out of ten you might be right 
But what about that time you know you were wrong? 
You sing that same song 
And everybody smiles but they'll never get along 

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go 
But everybody's going down tonight 

We are the few that won't say nothing right 
We are the footsteps fading into the night 
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say 
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this 
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it and 
I don't know where we went wrong 
But all I know now is I gotta do something right 

So come clean 
No one should have have to live with the things you've seen 
But you're living anyway 
Well I stop the car and put her in park 
And I step outside (God, I hate this part) 
When I see what I saw what I thought was a life that was more 
Than a chore and I'm just doing what I need to get by 
I don't care if you leave or stay 
But you might as well split 
Because it's not the same as it was 
When we said our last goodbye 
And if you want the truth: i was hoping one of us would pass away 
Because it'd be much easier then 
We would all get together and think about when 
We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love 
And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today 

i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying and i'm trying to let go 
but everybody's going down tonight 

We are the few that won't say nothing right 
We are the footsteps fading into the night 
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say 
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this 
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it and 
I don't know where we went wrong 
But all I know now is I gotta do something right 

This has been the best night of my life 
This has been the best night of my life 
I could have lost my life 
And I would have lost my mind 
But now I'm fine 
And I find 
That this has been the best night of my life 
This has been the best night of my life(I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize) 
This has been the best night of my life(I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize) 

I could have lost my life 
And I would have lost my mind 
But now I'm fine 
And I find 
That this has been the best night of my life 

And as the day fades 
No one investigates 
Nobody answers when she calls his name 
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave 
I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault 

Na Na Na...
