about

The song I write to an alternate universe version of me where I was born AFAB and named Zoe-Melissa.

lyrics

No Capo
Main Verses: G C G C, G C D C
Chorus: G C E C

Dear Zoe, I’ve come to pay my respects.
Dear Zoe, dead with no regrets.
Your name, could have been mine,
and believe me, I think about it all the time.
Sure, I know that you’re just a name,
but that doesn’t stop me from feeling the same.
It might be catharsis wrapped up in a song,
but don’t you worry – I’m sure it won’t take long.

Dear Zoe,
I don’t know who I am.
I would really
like advice from you.
I hope when we meet,
that I am complete,
and I hope that you’re complete too.

Dear Zoe, should I grind down my skull?
Dear Zoe, should I put myself through hell?
Dear Zoe, what would you do in my place?
Dear Zoe, I’m dealing with a lot.
Dear Zoe, I’m giving all I’ve got.
Dear Zoe, do you think that it’s enough?

When we die, where will I be?
Will I be with you? Will you be with me?
Could I play you this song that I wrote?
Would you sing-a-long to every lyric and note?
Would you hold me and tell me it’s all okay
and when it’s all over, things can still change?
Will we both fade into obscurity?
Will my music fade along with me?

Dear Zoe

Dear Wren, I don’t know who you are.
But Wren, I know you’ve come so far.
You’ve struggled with the world built around you,
but you’re going to become something brand new.

I know that the future is big and unknown,
but you have much more room to grow.
You have a whole life ahead you see
to learn what person you want to be.

So, don’t you worry, I’ll waiting in the dark,
and by then I’m sure you’ll leave your mark
Dear Wren, no need to sing to me,
love from your friend,
Dear Zoe.
