Lyric Sheet Letters I Never Sent
In the quiet of the night, under the pale moonlight,
I gather all the echoes of the dreams that took flight.
Every letter I never sent still burns in my hands,
Words like embers, scattered over distant sands.
The ink never flowed, but the thoughts were so clear,
Filled with longing and fears, all the things I hold dear.
The silence says more than the ink ever planned,
A weight on my heart that I don't understand.
Oh, those pages of love that never found their way,
Shadows of the moments, lost in yesterday.
My heart’s still waiting for the words I couldn’t say,
In the silence, I hear your name echo and sway.
Every tear that I’ve wept is a story untold,
A reflection of the love that I wanted to hold.
Regret is a river that flows deep inside,
With every whisper of truth, I can’t run and hide.
Every glance we shared is a memory I chase,
A haunting reminder of your tender embrace.
The night carries dreams that still flicker with light,
But I’m left in the shadows, searching for sight.
Oh, those pages of love that never found their way,
Shadows of the moments, lost in yesterday.
My heart’s still waiting for the words I couldn’t say,
In the silence, I hear your name echo and sway.
If I could turn back time, if I could take a breath,
I’d unravel all the feelings, defying regret.
With every heartbeat longing for you to come near,
I’d write every letter to wipe away every tear.
But here I stand, stuck in this haunting refrain,
With letters unwritten, bound in sorrow and pain.
So I'll pour out my heart into this melody,
In hopes that one day, you’ll come back to me.
The ink may be dry, but the love runs deep,
In the silence we keep, those memories creep.
When the stars start to shimmer and the world feels right,
I’ll hold onto the hope that you’re out there tonight.
Oh, those pages of love that never found their way,
Shadows of the moments, lost in yesterday.
My heart’s still waiting for the words I couldn’t say,
In the silence, I hear your name echo and sway.
So here’s to the letters, and the words left unspoken,
To the promises made, and the hearts that lie broken.
Every letter I never sent holds a piece of my soul,
In the silence, I’ll find a way to feel whole.
