The letter you never sent

Three in the morning. A cheap motel.
Stale coffee is cooling, cold as a well.
I watch the blizzard rage through the glass,
Feeling like I’m nailed to the cross, alas.

Got a lighter in hand, with your name engraved,
Next to a page that can't be saved.
I tried to erase you, to wipe the slate,
But my "Titanic" is bound for its fate.



I wrote: "I’m sorry, I was a fool,"
I wrote: "Come back, I broke every rule."
But pride stands guard like a soldier at war,
Defending the ground I don't own anymore.

Припев

This is the letter that you’ll never read!
It’s gonna burn before the sunrise bleeds.
Every line is the truth, every period a lie,
With no return address, just a final goodbye.
Screaming at shadows, tearing paper apart,
This is the letter that you... will never read.



Remember you told me: "Only the weak run"?
Well, I ran faster than a bullet from a gun.
Now these four walls are keeping me inside,
The loneliest place where a man can hide.

Ink smeared by a drop of cheap bourbon,
Or maybe a tear? It’s all a burden.
I reach for the phone, but I stop my hand...
The credits are rolling on the life we planned.



Line after line, like a punch in the chest,
Turning my soul inside out, no rest.
But this scream is a secret just for us two...
Or just for me and this empty brew.

Припев

This is the letter that you’ll never read!
It’s gonna burn before the sunrise bleeds.
Every line is the truth, every period a lie,
With no return address, just a final goodbye.
Screaming at shadows, tearing paper apart,
This is the letter that you... will never read.




The match strikes a flame...
Fire licks at the frame...
Goodbye, my lady.
Goodbye...
Goodbye!
