I waited each day for your letter although I knew what it would cost
But dear when it came I knew that your game had been won
And I knew that I had lost
But I just couldn't open your letter I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came I wrote beneath my name
These heartbreaking words address unknown
[ piano ]
I wanted to open your letter to see if you missed me sometimes
But you have a way of making me pay cause I know what you write between the lines
You know I'd be so glad to see you in spite of the hurt you have done
But deep down inside I can't lose my pride
And forgive you just because you're the one
So I just couldn't open your letter
