Letters I’ll Never Send

[Verse 1]

Folded on the floor by my bed

Ink stains on my right hand

Your name in the corner again

I stop before I write “I still care”

Day three

Cup rings on the page

Coffee cold

Same old playlist

I tell you I’m fine then erase it

Leave the truth trapped in the margins

[Chorus]

These are letters I’ll never send

All the things I’d say if I could hit “again”

Every word just turns into your name

So I hide them in a shoebox

Let them fade

Yeah

These letters I’ll never send

Are the closest that I get to you

My friend

Reading them back like we might still mend

But they’re letters

Letters I’ll never send

[Verse 2]

I write

“Do you still hate the rain?”

“Did you ever fix that old chair?”

“Did you find a new café

Or someone new to sit there?”

I cross out the lines where I beg

Where I ask you why you left first

Where I say that I’m doing my best

But the silence always answers

[Chorus]

These are letters I’ll never send

All the things I’d say if I could hit “again”

Every word just turns into your name

So I hide them in a shoebox

Let them fade

Yeah

These letters I’ll never send

Are the closest that I get to you

My friend

Reading them back like we might still mend

But they’re letters

Letters I’ll never send

[Bridge]

One day I’ll clean this room

Find them stacked by the window

Smile at how it used to wound (ooh)

How heavy every “hello” felt

Till then I date the top

Seal the envelope and pretend

That some part of you can feel it

When my heart writes your name again (again)

[Chorus]

These are letters I’ll never send

All the things I’d say if I could hit “again”

Every word just turns into your name

So I hide them in a shoebox

Let them fade

Yeah

These letters I’ll never send

Are the closest that I get to you

My friend

Reading them back like we might still mend

But they’re letters

Letters I’ll never send

Letters I’ll never send
