Unsent Letter

Verse 1

Scratched the nib across the page

Ink bleeding through

Every word I couldn't say to your face

Four drafts in the trash

Fifth one stuck to my thumb

Stained my fingertips black

Pre-Chorus

And I wrote and I wrote

Till the words lost their shape

And I wrote and I wrote

But I built my own cage

Chorus

This unsent letter

Burning a hole in my pocket

This unsent letter

Folded and folded till the edges are soft

You'll never read how I loved you

You'll never know I was wrong

This unsent letter

I'll carry along

Post-Chorus

Ooooh

Ooooh-ooh-ooh

Carry along

Verse 2

I licked the seal

Tasted copper and regret

Address in my hand but my feet were cement

Postbox yawned like a hungry mouth

I turned around

Went back to my house

Pre-Chorus

And I wrote and I wrote

Till the paper went thin

And I wrote and I wrote

Let the silence begin

Chorus

This unsent letter

Burning a hole in my pocket

This unsent letter

Folded and folded till the edges are soft

You'll never read how I loved you

You'll never know I was wrong

This unsent letter

I'll carry along

Bridge

Maybe ten years from now

I'll find it in a box

Laugh at the man who was so damn scared

Of three little words

Three little words that could change everything

But I cr-cr-cr-crumpled them up instead

Drop

Folded and folded

Folded and folded

Till the edges are soft

Till the edges are soft

Chorus

This unsent letter

Burning a hole in my pocket

This unsent letter

Folded and folded till the edges are soft

You'll never read how I loved you

You'll never know I was wrong

This unsent letter

I'll carry along

Post-Chorus

Ooooh

Ooooh-ooh-ooh

Carry along
