Lyrics

It’s Not Just a Letter

Blank writing paper with my pen in hand
I'm writing this letter that I hope I can send
Oft times I get started much the same way
The words don't come easy, what do I say?

The creak of the chair as I sit here and think
And the faucet dripping in the kitchen sink
Can't say what I feel, it's been painfully slow
And where it will lead me, I still don't know

It's not just a letter, it's more than a note
It's the weight of my heart in the words that I wrote
It’s the unsaid words between the spaces I hide
It's not just a letter, this letter I write

If you hear heartache in the lines that I wrote
If the words make sense, and there is hope
If I fold it up neatly, and send it your way
Will you please tell me, you choose to stay

It's not just a letter, it's more than a note
It's the weight of my heart in the words that I wrote
It’s the unsaid words between the spaces I hide
It's not just a letter, this letter I write
