The note was short, but Lord so strong
It simply said, I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her

My tears fell down like fallin' rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms?
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her

With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I'm the one that is to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her
