By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Gone

I've got friends in all the wrong places
Places I've been, a scar that never erases

And I'm terrified that some late night
I'll find a note pinned to my door

"Things have fallen off the tracks
I don't know where I went wrong
And I don't know how to make it right
By the time you read this, I'll be gone
Things have slipped right by me
It's been this way for far too long
By the time you read this, I'll be gone"

Cuz I've got friends, and they've got demons
Play pretend, they've all got their reasons

And I know that they've got so much to say
They can't possibly let out
Hold it all inside, till I'm terrified
That these notes will cover the ground

"Things have fallen off the tracks
I don't know where I went wrong
And I don't know how to make it right
By the time you read this, I'll be gone
Things have slipped right by me
It's been this way for far too long
By the time you read this, I'll be gone"

Don't let go (don't let go)
Don't let go (don't let go)
Don't let go

(I know I can't save people, but goddammit if I don't wanna try)

"Things have fallen off the tracks
I don't know where I went wrong
And I don't know how to make it right
By the time you read this, I'll be gone
Things have slipped right by me
It's been this way for far too long
By the time you read this, I'll be gone"
