How do you write a letter
That you'll never send anyways
It all seems like meaningless words
Lost and thrown away
How do you tell the truth
When you don't know what it is
How do you write the words
To convince your heart of this
You want to speak with passion
And desires held deep inside
But fear holds the pen back
And the letter withers and dies
How do you tell her you love her
When her heart is torn in two
How do you help her heart
When you don't know it'll welcome you
It seems kind of hopeless
With this letter I'll never send
I stare and rewrite it daily
And it's still here at day's end
But I keep mustering courage
To finally send the letter along
I just don't want my words
To be confused and come out wrong
One day she'll come back
And then I'll get the chance to tell
What was in the letter
That my heart refused to mail
