Letters I Never Gave

©2024 Joshua Sloan AI Assisted [Verse 1] There’s a box I keep beneath my bed It’s filled with words I never said Page after page, I poured my heart But fear kept me and her apart [Chorus] The letters I never gave Now they’re just ghosts of the love I saved Each line a wish, each word a dream But life’s not as kind as it sometimes seems Now she’s gone, and I’m to blame For the letters I never gave [Verse 2] I’d see her smile and think, “Not today” I’d fold those words and put them away A thousand chances, but I always froze Now they’re just shadows, nobody knows [Chorus] The letters I never gave Now they’re just ghosts of the love I saved Each line a wish, each word a dream But life’s not as kind as it sometimes seems Now she’s gone, and I’m to blame For the letters I never gave [Bridge] I thought there’d be time, I thought I’d be strong But the clock don’t wait, and the moment’s gone Now the words that might have changed her life Are buried with her, out of sight [Chorus] The letters I never gave Now they’re just ghosts of the love I saved Each line a wish, each word a dream But life’s not as kind as it sometimes seems Now she’s gone, and I’m to blame For the letters I never gave [Outro] So I sit here with my heart in my hands Reading the words that I once planned But they’re just echoes now, fading away The letters I never gave.
