I wrote this letter for you to read after I leave I can't watch you read it, I'm much too weak So, darling please, don't you read it 'till I'm miles away I wrote this letter, I spelled it out the best I could It took forever to write those words, I know they won't Make it worth it, make it better, make it right I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now And I never thought I'd have to write it down But to say those words out loud Would take more strength than I've found So help me now, don't leave me miles away I'll leave it by the door Won't let you search anymore For what you already know What I could not tell you before Will you take it as a confession, as it is? I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now And I never thought I'd have to write it down But to say those words out loud Would take more strength than I've found So help me now, don't leave me miles away I'll know it's over when you say nothing at all But I hope to be there when you call I know I never said I'm sorry 'til right now And I never thought I'd have to write it down But to say those words out loud Would take more strength than I've found So help me now, don't leave me miles away
