Versuri Amy Black – Letters Never Sent lyrics

Hmm-hmm…
Mmm…
Hmm-hmm-hmm, yeah…
I’ve got a drawer full of letters
I never mailed
Words I dressed up pretty
Then locked away
Every one of them starts
With your name in ink
Then runs out of courage somewhere halfway
I used to think that saying
It would set things right that the right sentence could rewind the night
But some things live better folded up and kept
Close enough to feel, too far gone to fix
And I’m not broken, I’m just a little worn
Like a favourite coat
That’s soft because it’s torn
Some losses make you smaller
Some just make you more…
Letters never sent, feelings never named
Love that came so close
And left before it claimed
I don’t regret a single word I wrote
Just the ones
I swallowed somewhere in my throat

Hmm… yeah…
Letters never sent,
But honey they were real
Every word the truest thing
I ever dared to feel
Saw a woman on the train with your same walk
That easy stride
Like the world made room to talk
I almost called your name across the car
Then remembered
Just how far away you are
Funny how the body keeps
What the mind lets go
Stores it in the muscles,
In the marrow, in the bone
I don’t reach for the phone the way I used to now
But sometimes my hand forgets
And reaches anyhow
And I’m not broken, I’m just a little worn
Like a favourite coat
That’s soft because it’s torn
Some losses make you smaller
Some just make you more…
Letters never sent, feelings never named
Love that came so close
And left before it claimed
I don’t regret a single word I wrote
Just the ones I swallowed somewhere in my throat

Hmm… yeah…
Letters never sent
But honey they were real
Every word the truest thing
I ever dared to feel
Maybe love ain’t always meant to land
Maybe some of it
Just passes through your hands
Leaves a little warmth,
Leaves a little light
Then lets you go on living your own life
And that’s alright…
Oh, that’s alright…
Mmm, that’s alright with me
Letters never sent, feelings never named
Love that came so close
And left before it claimed
I don’t regret a single word I wrote
Just the ones
I swallowed somewhere in my throat
Hmm… yeah…
Letters never sent
But honey they were real
Every word the truest thing
I ever dared to feel
Mmm-mmm…
That’s alright…
Hmm-hmm-hmm…
Every word was real…
Mmm…
