A letter from Joan by Hannah May Scott

I sat in the gutter
Under streetlights
When might I feel better
‘cause it won’t be tonight

I wrote you a letter
I wrote you a few
But it wouldn’t matter
I can’t send them to you

Say that I’ve changed
And who am I now
Did I disappoint you?
Did I fail somehow?
Say that we’re different
We’re not what we were
Well I’m so sorry that
I can’t be her

I still have your pictures
Though it’s been ages
And you talk to my sister
Your kept in these pages

What colour’s your hair now?
And what do you do?
In all of the spare moments
I would’ve spent with you

Say that I’ve changed
And who am I now
Did I disappoint you?
Did I fail somehow?
If I sent you these letters
See what I infer
I just can’t help it
I can’t be her

If I wrote you a song
Admit I was wrong
We’re not what we were
And I just can’t be her
My dear I’m so sorry
I can’t be her
