Letters You'll Never Read lyrics

I write your name, then cross it out Like that might help me figure out How to miss who you really were Not the version I still prefer Every word I couldn't say Found a way to stay These are letters you'll never read Truths that burn quietly I loved you deeper than you knew In letters you'll never read I fold the truth between the lies Dry my eyes and try to lie You moved on, I stayed behind With feelings frozen in time If loving you was wrong somehow I'd still write it all down These are letters you'll never read Apologies you never need But writing you still feels like peace In letters you'll never read Maybe closure isn't silence Maybe it's speaking alone Turning pain into a language When there's nowhere it belongs If you never hear these feelings At least I didn't let them rot These letters stay with me Proof that love was real at least Even if you're just a memory I loved you honestly
