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
