I wrote this letter for you to read after I leave
I can't watch you read it, I'm much too weak
So, darling please, don't you read it 'till I'm miles away
I wrote this letter, I spelled it out the best I could
It took forever to write those words, I know they won't
Make it worth it, make it better, make it right
I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now
And I never thought I'd have to write it down
But to say those words out loud
Would take more strength than I've found
So help me now, don't leave me miles away
I'll leave it by the door
Won't let you search anymore
For what you already know
What I could not tell you before
Will you take it as a confession, as it is?
I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now
And I never thought I'd have to write it down
But to say those words out loud
Would take more strength than I've found
So help me now, don't leave me miles away
I'll know it's over when you say nothing at all
But I hope to be there when you call
I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now
And I never thought I'd have to write it down
But to say those words out loud
Would take more strength than I've found
So help me now, don't leave me miles away
