We Are The Few - Streetlight Manifesto WLyrics - FFC (Best sound quality)

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

Well now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think
And every single smile is a thorn when 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 think I'm rude
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 9 times out of 10 you might be right
But what about that time you know you're wrong?
Keep singing 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 me so I might as well be proud of it
I don't know where we went wrong
All i know now is i got to 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 lie; it was more
Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get by
I don't care if you leave or stay
But we 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 could 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
I don't know where we went wrong
All I know now is I got to 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...

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...
It's not your fault

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
I don't know where we went wrong
All i know now is i got to do something right

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 me so I might as well be proud of it
And I know I've done something wrong
All I know now is I got to do something... right

Don't take it personally, but a lot of the lyrics are wrong, please cross-refer with this one: metrolyrics . com/we-are-the-few-lyrics-stre­etlight-manifesto . html

Most importantly please change the few lines after 'And I step outside', those are the most meaningful lines in this whole song to me. What a great band.

Fixed.

I think that the first line is dear, not damn.

Dear, Mr. Gepetto:

I hope this finds you well. I wrote this letter because we miss you here in hell.

[LlamaNationFilms]

LOVE IT!

[anglaismoyen]

Anyone else notice Pachelbel's Canon in the line "9 times out of 10 you might be right

But what about that time you know you're wrong?"

[Joneo19]

"I don't know where we went wrong

All i know now is i got to do something right"

i love it when randomly you hear a lyric in a song and it hits home.

[idonthaverecon]

The first lyrics are definitely

"Dear Mr. Geppetto,

I hope this finds you

Well, i wrote this letter..

Cause I miss you!

-from the whale"

*Pinocchio reference*

[muffinat0r]

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

I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this,

But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it.

I don't know where we went wrong, (it's only the last chorus which goes 'but they gave it to me')

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 I'm just doing what I need to get by.

[Zeip343]

the worst day ever, the best night of my life.

i love this song.
