[Verse] I found them in a dusty box, while cleaning out the attic Letters sealed in faded blue, the ink was bold but static Each page a whisper from the past, secrets kept from view Words never meant for me to read, meant for someone who knew [Verse 2] He spoke of dreams and college days, of laughter shared so bright Late-night talks and memories, that carried through the night "My dear old friend," he'd always start, the pen in steady flow These were pieces of his heart, a part I'll never know [Chorus] Unsent letters, love unspoken In his words, a heart was broken Pages yellowed, secrets found A father's love in silence drowned [Verse 3] He wrote about the autumn leaves, the campus turning gold Nights they'd watch the football games, and stories they'd retold He mentioned how he missed those days, the friendship they had spun A bond that time could never fade, a love that couldn’t run [Verse 4] Now I'm holding echoes tight, of the man I thought I knew His letters showed another side, a life he kept subdued He signed each one with tender care, a name I didn't know My father had another life, beneath the old hall's glow [Chorus] Unsent letters, love unspoken In his words, a heart was broken Pages yellowed, secrets found A father's love in silence drowned
