Note To Self

Jake Bugg · Jake Bugg [2012]

Girl, you've been forgetting

Just how special you really are

And I try to remind you

Sometimes I can't find you

But the truth is in your heart

So write a note to yourself

Girl, don't beat yourself up

Your best is good enough

So pick the pen up

So write a note to yourself,

a note to yourself

And don't be cruel,

cos things do happen

And you know it's not your fault

Don't cover your wounds with the salt

Girl, let me tell you what I see

You've got to believe me

You're a thing of beauty

Girl, put it in an envelope

Put it in the post

It'll come back to your door

So write a note to yourself,

a note to yourself

And don't be cruel,

cos things do happen

And you know it's not your fault

Don't cover your wounds with the salt

And write a note to yourself

And read the note to yourself.
