After you walked away and left me here
I wrote a couple letters
Lines and thoughts and words
I never had the nerve to say
And then I burned them down
Trying to free myself from feelings
From the emptiness you left behind
I keep on writing, keep on burning
Eight letters in ashes
Saying what I never said
Handwritten truths and confessions
Eight letters in ashes
You don't have to understand me
Or the reasons why we broke apart
What led us to let everything shatter
But I'm still writing back to you
I've burned so many letters
All of them meant for you
Because if I ever sent them
You'd just drift further from the truth
Eight letters in ashes
Saying what I never said
Handwritten truths and confessions
Eight letters in ashes
