Verse 1
Buried deep in a drawer I never open
Folded like a wound I left unspoken
Edges worn, the ink turned grey
But I still know what it tried to say
It starts with hope, ends with regret
Each word a promise you forget
I read it once, I read it twice
Still can’t make it sound like it’s right
Chorus
The letter, your ghost in my hand
I trace the words I don’t understand
It used to burn, it used to sing
Now it’s just paper, and everything
Verse 2
You called it forever, I called it home
But now it reads like I’m alone
You said love like it was real
But none of this is how that feels
The lines are sharp, they still draw blood
They whisper truths you never could
Every loop and every line
Feels like you’re lying one more time
Chorus
The letter, your ghost in my hand
I trace the words I don’t understand
It used to burn, it used to sing
Now it’s just paper, and everything
Bridge
Should I tear it? Should I keep?
Should I let it rot beneath my sheets?
You made me feel, then made me fade
All that’s left is what you made
Final Chorus
The letter, your ghost in my hand
I fold it up, but still can’t stand
It used to burn, it used to sing
Now it just reminds me I meant nothing
Outro
So I put it back, let it sleep
Among the things I couldn’t keep
The letter’s quiet, but it still speaks
In all the ways I stay too weak
