The Letter

This is a song I wrote a few years ago.

I’m writing this

Because I’ve nothing left to give.

I’m such a mess.

You know you made me like this.

I’m giving up.

You’ve had so many chances,

But you threw them away.

I can’t hold back anymore!

This isn’t what I deserve,

And it’s too hard for me to say this to your face.

I still love you, I do.

That’s why I’m writing this letter to you.

Maybe I’m a coward;

I know that’s what you’ll say,

But every time you see this coming

You pretend to change.

You become the man who stole my heart all those years ago

Before you became bitter and mean

And got yourself addicted to the drink.

I can’t hold back anymore!

This isn’t what I deserve,

And it’s too hard for me to say this to your face.

I still love you, I do.

That’s what I’m writing this letter to you.

Don’t try to follow;

I really mean it this time.

It’s too late anyway;

You couldn’t if you tried.

I’m long gone now,

But you’ve still got a chance

To be the man I always dreamed.

(Please forgive the way I had to leave.)

It’s just my time.

Go live your life.

This is goodbye.
