The Letter I’ll never Send - Jason Myers

I still set too many plates from habit,
Still watch those shows I never liked.
I’ve been fine, yeah, I say that a lot,
But Im not always sure that’s right.

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I just needed time,
Or maybe love just crossed a line…
Lines that blurred too many times

[Chorus]
This is the letter I won’t send,
Where I tell you what I’d never mend.
Where I thank you for the mess we made,
And forgive us both for walkin’ away.
You’ll never read these words I penned —
Because, This is the letter I won’t send.

[Verse 2 – frustration and grief rising]
I still blame you when I lay awake
Then blame myself when I catch my mistake.
I wanted peace, you wanted proof,
Facts can be used to build any truth.

We said forever, in between the fights,
But love alone don’t make that right.
I held on tight, you held your breath,
We loved too hard, ignored the rest.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I get it now, I understand,
We were tryin’ more than we planned.

[Chorus – deeper, regretful but freeing]
This is the letter I won’t send,
The one that says I’d do it again.
I’d still break just to end up here,
I’d rerun the loss to keep what’s left near. 
You’ll never read these words I penned —
This is the letter I won’t send.

[Bridge – spoken/sung, trembling voice]
I don’t hate you, No! - I never could,
I just wish you focussed more on good.
You crossed my mind the other day,
And it didn’t hurt — just felt far away.

So if somehow you ever wonder,
If I cared — yeah!, I did…  I still do!
But this letter’s better left in the drawer,
‘Cause I’ve got nothin’ left to prove.
I know what’s true. And how truth lands different for me than you.

[Final Chorus – stripped, closing the letter]
This is the letter I won’t send,
There’s NO! “I miss you,” and NO! “let’s try again.”
I wrote it down so it could end,
So it could end 
.

Yeah, this is the letter I won’t send.

[Outro – soft spoken, almost a whisper]
Guess some things are better said,
Only once, inside your head.
Goodbye for real, 
Goodbye - my old best friend —
That’s all there is, all there is to be heard...

This is the the last song - my final word.

[Verse 1 – gentle, confessional tone] Hey… I don’t know if you’d even read this now, Guess it doesn’t really matter anyhow. When your name lights up my phone, It feels familiar, but not like home. I still set too many plates from habit, Still watch those shows I never liked. I’ve been fine, yeah, I say that a lot, But Im not always sure that’s right. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I just needed time, Or maybe love just crossed a line… Lines that blurred too many times [Chorus] This is the letter I won’t send, Where I tell you what I’d never mend. Where I thank you for the mess we made, And forgive us both for walkin’ away. You’ll never read these words I penned — Because, This is the letter I won’t send. [Verse 2 – frustration and grief rising] I still blame you when I lay awake Then blame myself when I catch my mistake. I wanted peace, you wanted proof, Facts can be used to build any truth.
