in a letter you told me when you've lost your faith depend on me
what happens when i lose my faith in you
look at all these words trying to tell you something
i know i could've said in two lines what took me a page
and i know this letter's not something that's gonna keep you up at night
and you've grown up with girls so you don't mind watching them cry
and i know
i don't wanna be the person the situation requires
i don't want this to be quite as dramatic as it seems
for all the times you begged me to be sweet to myself patient and generous
did you ever guess that someday i would take your advice
cause i didn't
in a letter you told me when you've lost your faith depend on me
what happens when i lose my faith in you
what happens when i lose my faith in you

sarah says: "a song has to say something, it has to say it in a way i've never heard it before, and it has to be pretty....or at least ugly in a pretty way". a pretty tragedy. so they say.
