To Whom It May Concern Lyrics

I've lost count, of how many times I've tried to reach you
You weren't coming
Have my messages gotten lost?
Cause it's been twenty six years now, and still no response
I guess I'll start where I last left off
Fill you in with everything that's been going on
It's been a bit overwhelming
But I'm sure all the letters have been more than telling

[Chorus]
(Yeah)
Yeah, you just ought to know! (you just ought to know)
I'm coming here, because I got nowhere else to go

I for one am better off without you (without you)
But then I know that I really fuckin' need you (need you)
I've lost count, have my messages gotten lost?
(Of how many times I've tried to reach you)
Cause it's been twenty six years now, and still no response

[Chorus X2]
(Yeah)
Yeah, you just ought to know! (you just ought to know)
I'm coming here, because I got nowhere else to go

It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think the speaker in this song is talking about God. He has been praying to God his entire life asking for help, but he never got an answer. In the end, he decides he doesn't need God's help to overcome his problems, but takes a stab at him anyway saying "there are those out there who really do need you." "I'm coming here because I've got nowhere else to go" is referring to a church. The speaker is not a religious man, and has lost his hope and faith in God, but since he has been cast out by society and may be homeless judging by previous songs, he comes to the church as a last resort.
