Capital Letter Lyrics

Capital Letter

[Verse 1]

A shameless, heavy head and a hollow heart

Well, I was tricking them all

I heard that it’s good to talk

(I said it’s good to talk)

This long-term trouble is the frequently fought battle

Over whether these endeavours give us pleasure or an outlet

The first time I saw, I thought you actually looked good

Now I just see a fucking rich-kid attitude

I guess that what I’m saying is that when it all comes down to it

I only stuck around ‘cause I’m an alcoholic

Letting shambolic decisions dictate the rest of my life

I’m just so tired of loving people who I don’t even like

The last thing I said, as I made our bed

Was that the times of the “roly-poly” made me see red

And the afterglow grew old it’s true

We’ll chew some coal and then smoke some glue

Though never before have I ever needed to list

So I’m counting on my fingers and it went like this

1...2...3...

Once more and you’re dead to me

Do you really think you're bringing any positive vibes

Frankly, that’s something I’m finding hard to believe

Because your playfulness behind the scene

Is in stark contrast to the prick on the streets

Your tastelessness is hard to beat

Though sadly I was shuffling my feet for you

[Chorus]

I will spell your name without a capital letter

Just to diminish any detail that portrays you better

I would spell your name without a capital letter

Just to diminish any detail that could portray you any better

[Verse 2]

A shameless, heavy head and a hollow heart

Of all the things I’ve done wrong

I should’ve put the trash where the trash belongs

And you know that it’s good to talk, so guess what

Maybe I’d address this mess with less distress

If I could realistically say that you did a single thing to impress me

Not belittle or dismiss me directly

Are you aware that immaturity just ain’t that sexy?

One for the road before I head home

If you’re into a little bit of manipulation then, she’s a perfect girl

No, I don’t need to justify what I do

I’ve just had enough

And I heard that it’s good to talk

(I said it’s good to talk)

A sober night becomes the bravest and boldest of nights

If your life already orbits pretty spirits and tights

And with you there beside me it’s becoming quite frightening

How easily I have been lying to myself

And that’s not what I wanna do

It’s not what I want to do

[Chorus]

I will spell your name without a capital letter

Just to diminish any detail that portrays you better

I would spell your name without a capital letter

Just to diminish any detail that could portray you any better
