Lyrics

I FOUND YOUR LETTER

Verse 1
I found your letter.
It’s on my dresser.
Next to your picture –
It’s on my mirror.
Won’t make it better –
It’s just a letter.
It’s on my dresser.
Next to your ....[pause]... picture .....

Verse 2
I read your story;
The words you told.
That same old story –
‘Bout love grown cold.
You are my hero –
My fantasy.
I watched you rise up –
You're better than me.

CHORUS 1
Your letters don't fade, they burn in my mind,
Your pictures don't change, but they leave me behind.
I can't escape it, the ink pulls me in -
Every word feels like you're here - again.

Verse 3
Some doors we open;
Some doors we shut.
Your sword is broken –
But words can cut.
You wear your love scars –
They’re like your medals.
You’re like a flower –
With thorns and petals.
I watched you rise up.
I watched you fall.
Like you were dried up –
Then you grew tall.

CHORUS 2
Your letters don't fade, they burn in my mind,
Your pictures don't change, but they leave me behind.
I can't escape it, the ink pulls me in -
Every word feels like you're here - again.

Verse 4
AAHHHHHHS!!!!
I get your story.
I get to feel.
Too strong for glory.
Too weak to kneel.
Can’t see the forest –
Too many trees.
What came between us?
That no one sees.

GUITAR SOLO
(Ahhhs...)[Choir sings]
My midnight heart loved your morning smile, / We made forever live for almost a beautiful while.

BRIDGE
If I could turn back the years,
I’d hold you closer through the tears.
But all I have when the night comes through
Is this old letter… and the memory of you.
[Vocal lift — almost whispered]
AAAAAAQAHS!
Ohhh… I still hear you…
I still feel you…
[Full emotional vocal]
And every word you left behind
Still lives forever in my mind…
[Final sustained note]
I found your letter…
And I found you…

CHORUS 3
Your letters don't fade, they burn in my mind,
Your pictures don't change, but they leave me behind.
I can't escape it, the ink pulls me in -
Every word feels like you're here - again.

Outro
I found your letter.
Every word feels like you're here - again.
I found your letter.
It's on my dresser.
Next to your....[pause]... picture ..
