Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found some paper in my desk tonight
Sat down and let the words pour out at last
My fingers shaking as I try to write
These thoughts I've carried from our bitter past
Each line I scribble tells a different side
Of all the moments that just didn't last
[Chorus]
And these are words I'll never send
Just pages filling up my drawer
Some truths I'm learning to defend
That weren't so clear to me before
[Post-chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
The coffee stains are spreading on the page
As memories come flooding back again
I thought by now I'd moved past all this pain
But ink reveals what I've been hiding then
Sometimes I wonder if you feel the same
Or if these thoughts are mine alone to tend
[Chorus]
And these are words I'll never send
Just pages filling up my drawer
Some truths I'm learning to defend
That weren't so clear to me before
[Post-chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Bridge]
And in between these lines of anger
I see a picture getting clearer now
Of two young hearts that just weren't ready
For all the weight we didn't know how
[Verse 3]
The morning light is creeping through my room
As understanding starts to settle in
We both were trying hard to prove
Something neither one of us could win
I fold these pages, tuck them out of view
And finally let the healing begin
[Chorus]
'Cause these are words I'll never send
Just pages filling up my drawer
Some truths I'm learning to defend
That weren't so clear to me before
[Post-chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Fade out]
