I wrote it all down
But I guess you’ll never read it

I had a pen full of poison and a heart full of wine
Scribbling truth on the edge of goodbye
Pages torn by shaking hands
A war between stay and don’t give a damn

You wore your silence like a crown
While I wrote novels just to drown
But every page I tried to send
Became a ghost I called a friend

They say that time will heal the fall
But time don’t write, it just erases all

These are the letters I never sent
Folded with pride and punishment
Kisses that dried inside my chest
Dreams undone and hearts unblessed

These are the echoes I still defend
Words I wrote but never penned
Maybe they’d never change your mind
But they saved a piece of mine

I saw you once in someone’s laugh
And it hit me like a photograph
You were the chapter left unread
I lit the match and watched it spread

I danced alone in crowded bars
With your memory locked in my guitar
Playing chords you’d never hear
While pretending you were near

They say regrets are just the past in chains
But mine still call your name in flames

These are the letters I never sent
Folded with pride and punishment
Kisses that dried inside my chest
Dreams undone and hearts unblessed

These are the echoes I still defend
Words I wrote but never penned
Maybe they’d never change your mind
But they saved a piece of mine

What if I sent them now?
Would it change a thing?
Or just remind me that silence
Was your favorite reply?

These are the letters I never sent
Written in blood and cheap lament
Maybe they’d make you turn around
But I burned them all
Without a sound

These are the ghosts that walk with me
Notes unsung in minor keys
Maybe they’d never set you free
But at least
They set me free

Letters I never sent
But always meant

These are the ghosts that walk with me
Notes unsung in minor keys
Maybe they’ d never set you free
But at least
They set me free
