Dear Diary, here's the facts
We can't seem to find our way back
Tear your pages out, rip them in half
And I would tell you the truth,
But time went too fast.

Dear Diary, shut your mouth
I told you everything to keep you around
It doesn't take very much these days
Every little white lie written on your page
Everyone and everything are trying to find
The way inside your empty mind
Giving in to the pressure would be so kind
If only you could take a step back to rewind.

Dear Diary, give it up
To the whole wide world
You have such awful luck.
Now it's you against everybody else
And it seems so fake
But trust me now, just make believe
Anything to keep existing.

Dear Diary, here it is
The truth you've been waiting for me to give
Well wouldn't you know it,
Turns out it's all a sham
I'm caught in my own lie
Before I even began.

Dear Diary, give it up
To the whole wide world
You have such awful luck.
Now it's you against everybody else
And it seems so fake
But trust me now, just make believe
Anything to keep existing.
Baby keep it coming, keep the engine running
I'll be back outside before you even knew I was gone
And baby can't you see,
The brilliant light through the trees
Is shining down on you for everybody but me.
Now we can drive away, find a place to stay
Hide ourselves out like we never needed anything
Baby can't you see that what you mean to me
Is everything I write down and don't want you to read.
