Answer To Your Letter
[Verse 1]
Your letter came to me today, I noticed no return address
And it was mailed before the ink had dried
It took a while to read your hand and twice as long to understand
That you were simply telling me goodbye

[Chorus]
A year we spent together you said that to me on paper
It hurts to know that you found someone new
At least you mentioned I was worth a few good memories
And that you never loved like you loved me

[Verse 2]
I knew I couldn't argue with some paper and some written words
How can I make the letter change its mind?
You say you've changed your telephone
And that you've moved away from home
And that letter says the same thing every time

[Chorus]
A year we spent together you said that to me on paper
It hurts to know that you found someone new
At least you mentioned I was worth a few good memories
And that you never loved like you loved me
