Letter to No one

I initially wrote the first draft of this song about an ex of mine, and it was basically just me reliving the past. Until I had recently brought the song back up, I realized none of the original words meant anything to me anymore, because any and all attachment I had for the person who was behind it is gone. I still loved the flow of the song, and what it could potentially mean to others. So, then came the title “Letter To No One”. A simple song about losing, but trying to hold on, to only in the end let go. It’s completely okay to walk away from a friendship, relationship, or whatever it may be, and only take the good parts with you. The only thing I ask is that you don’t let those “good parts” blind you from why you walked away in the first place. It’ll hurt, to lose something you thought you never would, but the hurt isn’t all that bad. It only means that you actually cared for someone, maybe more than you cared for yourself. Looking back is just a part of the healing process. My trick is looking back to move forward. Living and learning type deal. You know?

“Not all the friends you have will stay

Not all the memories you make will be great

So take today, make your change

Understand that tomorrow is far away

And yesterday can never be obtained

You will always be afraid

Feel an aching kind of pain

In your heart in your brain

But you will be okay

I see your trust in me

I’ve had your back since we were both sixteen

And with the power I’m holding

One day I’ll be exploding

Talk it out

Talk it slow

Walk through the memories that you hold

Finding reason not to let go

Even when it hurts to keep 'em close

I know me, I know you

I know we tried our best

I know you, I know me

I know you fought a little less

So lets forget the past

We’ll make a brand new pact

No more looking back

On the memories we can’t get back

No more turning them grey

Time to forget each other's names”
