Nothing To Write Home About Lyrics - Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum

Dear mother, what can I say 

It's been so long since I went away 

And yes, I miss the comforts of home 

But I guess, I'm better off on my own 

No one told me people could be so cruel 

Nobody told me about any of this in school 

Still nobody understands the things that I don't understand 

I've nothing to write home about 

Nothing I have figured out 

Still I have the same old doubts 

Nothing to write home about 

Dear John, that ain't my name 

I'm just hangin' 'round to take the blame 

I'm filled with guilt, I'm filled with shame 

Too much or not enough, it's all the same 

And no one wants to talk about the loss 

No one wants to talk about the cost 

Every one just looks away, just like any other day 

I've nothing to write home about 

Nothing I have figured out 

Still I have the same old doubts 

Nothing to write home about 

Nothing to write home about 

Who can teach me how to change my ways? 

Who will come and save the day? 

Who will tell me what to say 

When there's nothing left to say? 

Nobody told me about any of this in school 

No one told me I'd be taken for a fool 

And everyone just looks away, and tries to make it through the day 

I've nothing to write home about 

Nothing I have figured out 

Still I have the same old doubts 

Nothing to write home about 

Nothing to write home about
