Go. Letters
By Thunder eyes
**Verse 1**
I meant to start the conversation,
had it ready in my chest,
but every time the moment found me
I held it back instead.
I try to gather up the courage,
piece by piece, then hesitate,
like every word arrives too early
or somehow comes too late.
It’s clear inside my head for hours,
exactly what I want to say,
but when I reach to let it out
it drifts a little further away.
Still, I can feel it changing slowly—
something shifting day by day,
like I’m learning how to meet the moment
instead of letting it slip away.
(Break down)

Pre-Chorus**
So why change the way it sounds,
when it’s already in the head?
Think it through—just think again—
every line already said.
If the words don’t make it out,
if they never leave instead,
what does that really mean?
Just think about it.
---
**Chorus**
I’ve been trying, I’ve been hurting,
but these words won’t come out right,
not the way I needed them to,
not the way I held them tight.
It gets to me, I feel it build,
every time I try to explain,
what I needed to get across
never formed the way I planned.
I never found the way to say it,
never found the way to be,
never learned to stand with meaning
when the letters don’t agree
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now
(Breakdown)
**Verse 2**
He’s raised a barrier in his mind,
to soften every surge he hides,
so frustration never breaks the surface
when his thoughts won’t align.
He reaches out in careful ways,
trying not to overstep or crowd,
shaping meaning gently, quietly,
so it doesn’t come out loud.
But tension steals the lines he forms,
turns them distant, out of place,
leaves them drifting, half-remembered,
never finding time or space.
So everything stays sealed within—
restless pulse beneath his skin,
carried both behind his silence
and in the world he’s standing in.

**Pre-Chorus**
So why change the way it sounds,
when it’s already in the head?
Think it through—just think again—
every line already said.
If the words don’t make it out,
if they never leave instead,
what does that really mean?
Just think about it.

**Chorus**
I’ve been trying, I’ve been hurting,
but these words won’t come out right,
not the way I needed them to,
not the way I held them tight.
It gets to me, I feel it build,
every time I try to explain,
what I needed to get across
never formed the way I planned.
I never found the way to say it,
never found the way to be,
never learned to stand with meaning
when the letters don’t agree.
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now

**Bridge**
Some days carry more than most,
rushing through me all at once,
too eager just to let it out,
too much to hold it up.
I reach in fast, step over lines,
not meaning to take the space,
just trying hard to let it out
before it slips away.
It all comes out too quick, too close,
faster than I can slow,
what I’m saying gets tangled up
before it starts to show.
There’s no harm in how it lands,
no edge behind the sound,
just something I can’t steady yet
when everything spins around.
Each moment feels like opening doors
that don’t all work the same,
I have to find another way in
just to say what I’m trying to say.
So take a second—think it through,
feel what’s trying to come through it,
there’s more behind each broken line…
just think about it.

**Final Chorus**
I’ve been trying, I’ve been hurting,
but these words won’t come out right,
not the way I needed them to,
not the way I held them tight.
It gets to me, I feel it build,
every time I try to explain,
what I needed to get across
never formed the way I planned.
I never found the way to say it,
never found the way to be,
never learned to stand with meaning
when the letters don’t agree.
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now
Get. Letter. Go. Letter. Don't disappointment now
