Letter
I found a letter in an old book,
I just bought from a second-hand shop.
It was pressed between two pages near the end,
And I read those secrets somebody never got.
She wrote about love,
She wrote about cheating.
She wrote about his wife, his kids:
An' she wrote about leavin'.
I took the letter to an old man on Maple Street.
His smile was bitter sweet.
As he held the tide of memories in his hands,
He finally knew the reason he never saw her again.
He read about love,
He read about cheating.
He read about his wife, his kids:
An' he read about leavin'.
As he folded the letter,
He talked about the mistakes he'd made in his younger days.
Though he never meant to hurt her, she knew,
He'd do what he had to.
So she moved away.
And by the look in his eyes,
I knew that that love was still alive.
Hidden between the lines of the letter.
Oh, an' she wrote about love,
She wrote about cheating.
She wrote about his wife, his kids:
An' she wrote about leavin'.
In the letter.
Carta
Eu encontrei uma carta em um livro antigo,
Que acabei de comprar em uma loja de usados.
Estava prensada entre duas páginas perto do fim,
E eu li aqueles segredos que alguém nunca soube.
Ela escreveu sobre amor,
Ela escreveu sobre traição.
Ela escreveu sobre a esposa dele, os filhos dele:
E ela escreveu sobre ir embora.
Eu levei a carta para um velho na Rua Maple.
O sorriso dele era agridoce.
Enquanto ele segurava a maré de memórias nas mãos,
Ele finalmente soube o motivo de nunca mais ter visto ela.
Ele leu sobre amor,
Ele leu sobre traição.
Ele leu sobre a esposa dele, os filhos dele:
E ele leu sobre ir embora.
Enquanto ele dobrava a carta,
Ele falou sobre os erros que cometeu na juventude.
Embora nunca tivesse a intenção de machucá-la, ela sabia,
Ele faria o que fosse preciso.
Então ela se mudou.
E pelo olhar nos olhos dele,
Eu sabia que aquele amor ainda estava vivo.
Escondido entre as linhas da carta.
Oh, e ela escreveu sobre amor,
Ela escreveu sobre traição.
Ela escreveu sobre a esposa dele, os filhos dele:
E ela escreveu sobre ir embora.
Na carta.
