Envelope Lyrics

she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
i'm not scared to stay inside a sealed envelope
envelope envelope envelope
i don't know why i live inside a goddamn envelope
envelope envelope envelope
she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
she won't miss you if you let her.
i'm not scared to stay inside a sealed envelope
envelope envelope envelope
i don't know why i live inside a goddamn envelope
envelope envelope envelope
i'll shed no tears for the wasted year i spend waiting here,
don't know what i'll do when you leave and don't see you for a year.

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.

New Plastic Ideas was what got me into Unwound and this is the first song of theirs that I loved.

I figure it's about writing multiple letters to a girl who no longer wants anything to do with you and doing so just makes her all the more colder towards you. Sometimes silence will give her time to reflect on things she misses about you in her life, but attempting to constantly contact her will remind her of the things she doesn't (She won't miss you if you keep trying to force her to miss you). But the speaker keeps trying to reach out, hoping one day she'll read one and realize she wants him back instead of moving on with his life.
