Letters I Never Sent Lyrics

Found your name on an old envelope

Tucked between pages I don't read no more

The ink's faded, the paper's thin

But I remember every word I meant

I never sent 'em, but I wrote 'em down

Thought maybe words could turn you around

But some things don't make it through

Some doors don't open, no matter what you do

I kept them here, every line, every bend

All the letters I never sent

One was for you when the nights got cold

One was for when we both got old

One for the fight, one for the fall

One just said, I miss you, that's all

I never sent 'em, but I wrote 'em down

Thought maybe time would bring you 'round

But some things don't make it through

Some doors don't open, no matter what you do

I kept them here, every line, every bend

All the letters I never sent

I burned them all, one by one

Watched the words turn into dust

Maybe some things ain't meant to be read

Maybe silence says it best
