Nothing To Write Home About Lyrics

Dear mother, what can I say? 
It's been so long since I went away 
And yes, I miss the comforts of home 
But I guess I'm better off on my own 
No one told me people could be so cruel 
Nobody told me about any of this in school 
Still nobody understands the things that I don't understand 
I've nothing to write home about 
Nothing I have figured out 
Still I have the same old doubts 
Nothing to write home about 
Dear John, that ain't my name! 
I'm just hangin' 'round to take the blame 
I'm filled with guilt, I'm filled with shame 
Too much or not enough it's all the same 
And no one wants to talk about the loss 
No one wants to talk about the cost 
Every one just looks away, just like any other day 
I've nothing to write home about 
Nothing I have figured out 
Still I have the same old doubts 
Nothing to write home about 
Who can teach me how to change my ways 
Who will come and save the day 
Who will tell me what to say 
When there's nothing left to say 
Nobody told me about any of this in school 
No one told me I'd be taken for a fool 
And everyone just looks away, and tries to make it through the day 
I've nothing to write home about 
Nothing I have figured out 
Still I have the same old doubts 
Nothing to write home about
