The Letter lyrics
by Ricky Manning
[Verse 1]
I'm trying to reach
The surface, but there’s weight on my feet
I'm screaming, but my head's underwater
You tried to help, but can’t any longer
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't read me your letter
I already know what it's gonna say
I'll go and get better
'Cause better is the only way
[Chorus]
There aren't any words anymore as you empty the drawers
You said, "Love is getting lost in the pain"
And it wrecks me to know I'm the reason we broke
I took your colors and I turned 'em to grey
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This is the last thing you would ever choose
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
So I’ll do anything to lose
The me that’s hurting you
[Verse 2]
In my dreams
I'm somebody, the one you need
Someone who makes it easier for you and me
To finally find our peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t read me your letter
I can't watch your face as your heart breaks
Yeah, we said "forever"
I'll do whatever it takes
[Chorus]
There aren't any words anymore as you empty the drawers
You said, "Love is getting lost in the pain"
And it wrecks me to know I’m the reason we broke
I took your colors and I turned 'em to grey
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This is the last thing you would ever choose
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
So I'll do anything to lose
The me that's hurting you
[Bridge]
You stood under my walls as they caved in
Sheltered me and loved me with patience
Now I wake up and you're gone, and I hate it
But I know that you left me to save us
You stood under my walls as they caved in
Sheltered me and loved me with patience
I wake up and you're gone, and I hate it
But I know that you left me to save us
You stood under my walls as they caved in
Sheltered me and loved me with patience
I wake up and you're gone, and I hate it
But I know that you left me to save us
[Outro]
Don't read me your letter
I already know what it's gonna say
