Valley of Hope NOT Valley of Dope Letters from the Heart

My happiness is overflowing 
I do NOT really know where I am going 
The destruction was WAY too much 
Somehow, we became out of touch 
Two times in my life I am grateful for  
First, when YOU Said that you would be mine 
The second time when you said the word Yes  
I was out of line when you left 
I was surrounded by darkness and alone 
Truly, in the Lozer Zone 
Yet, it is still the band 
I can NOT play without you or have fun or be proud or even feel like a real anyone 
They say I am codependent 
Yet stuck on an island 
I am now more than ever a broken man 
It is NOT your fault though 
I do NOT ever need any more time with any bros 
When my heart feels you near it always glows 
When you picked up the phone and gave me a future 
I forever changed my ways and was NO longer a user 
If you can forgive me now like you did then for following some stupid trend 
I will begin to do even more and more things very differently 
If who you want me to be is with you again 
You will always have me in the end my closest friend   
I life of commitment is what I wanted 
We started out possibly in what some of these mojos would call sin 
Yet, I would do it again 
Loving you could NOT be even remotely compared to strumming this toted 6-string in the...
You called it Lozer Zone
Maybe, I made a ***** or two 
Ended up acting like Homer Simpson and coming unglued 
I can still hear in your voice two different people 
We do NOT need a steeple to gather under to steep some good tea 
For me to be me 
For you to be you 
For me to be true 
Or for us to both be able to do what we want to... 
I think that Sean along picked us and that was what he wanted too  
Just saying, NOT spraying babe 
Let me know what you want to do... 
I will be there for you when you want me to 

As far as the Valley of Hope NOT dope goes 
Even the word Glen can be translated to valley dweller  
Out of my own sick type of homemade wine cellar, I will tell yak... 
I always hope for the better days and dwell on hope in many ways 
Those lazy, fancy, prancy, antsy, or even the days we go dancing 
I might as well name off some reindeer with that last rhyme 
But this time, in as much time as it takes 
I want you to feel the comfort I know you need so that you too can take some breaks
