After you walked away and left me here I wrote a couple letters Lines and thoughts and words I never had the nerve to say And then I burned them down Trying to free myself from feelings From the emptiness you left behind I keep on writing, keep on burning Eight letters in ashes Saying what I never said Handwritten truths and confessions Eight letters in ashes You don't have to understand me Or the reasons why we broke apart What led us to let everything shatter But I'm still writing back to you I've burned so many letters All of them meant for you Because if I ever sent them You'd just drift further from the truth Eight letters in ashes Saying what I never said Handwritten truths and confessions Eight letters in ashes
