The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out Lyrics - Anthem - Less Than Jake

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast 

And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last 

You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights 

With the strongest drinks and longest lines, it's not that big of a surprise 

That you're feeling more dead than alive 

You're feeling more dead than alive 

So I'll let you know if you need 

Somewhere to go 

I'll be listening when you call 

And I'll be there if you fall off 

If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will 

You said the hole in your head has gotten bigger than the whole that's in your chest 

And you're stuck between the past and present tense 

Said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies 

With stronger drinks and longer lines, it's not that big of a surprise 

That you're feeling more dead than alive 

You're feeling more dead than alive 

So I'll let you know if you need 

Somewhere to go 

I'll be listening when you call 

And I'll be there if you fall off 

If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will 

But sometimes you've gotta let it go 

So this pen is starting to become 

A pipe bomb and these songs 

Have turned to anthems again 

To everything that's changed and to everything that's gone away 

Here are my condolences to the future I never met 

It's gone and never coming back 

It's never coming back 

So don't hold onto your past 

You've gotta let it go 

'Cause friends leave as time fades away 

The people and the places along the way 

Without a doubt 

Screws fall in and screws they fall out 

Tomorrow's gone up in smoke 

And I wonder when I'm alone 

Where did my convictions go? 

So to everyone that's gone away 

Or fades away or stays the same 

Here are my apologies to the person that I used to be 

Before I burned down every bridge and every inch 

Of everything I used to know 

I gotta let it go 

Friends leave as time fades away 

The people and the places along the way 

So don't hold onto your past 

No, it's never coming back 

You've gotta let it go
