Dear Daddy, one day you're gonna die
And I don't know what it means to me yet, but I know I'll cry.
Dear Mama, wish I could hug you one more time
And thank you for all the ways you helped me shine
Dear family, I never asked to be alive
And I'm sorry I can't be there to say goodbye
Dear lover, you gave me more than was ever fair
You deserve to be loved by someone who's there
I like the edge of the world, it's all I ever knew
One foot down in the grave, the other with you
Thought I had to use to be creative,
But the reaper says it isn't true
But my friends are all fucked up, so I guess I'll fuck up, too.
Dear guitar, we had one hell of a run
And I'm sorry I beat you up just for fun
You could have been pretty
You could have been some kind of beauty
But I broke you and cut you and made you as ugly as me
Dear listener, tell me why you shed your tears
I've been given too many chances through the years
Dear mother, what is there left to say?
I've given up, my cup is empty
The dusk of the day.
I like the edge of the world, it's all I ever knew
One foot down in the grave, the other with you
Thought I had to use to be creative,
But the reaper says it isn't true
But my friends are all fucked up, so I guess I'll fuck up, too.
Dear friends, I'm not long for this town
Or any town that isn't burned to the ground
Dear long lost, wish we could have had our time
So I could be one more disappointment in your life
Dear dead friends, tell me if it's gonna hurt
Tell me if staying alive is gonna be worse
Dear Reaper, I don't pretend I can outrun you
But when you take me, make it quick,
Because I'm overdue.
