about

Not every song comes from a happy place. This track was written for every man...who made a mistake. Not every mistake is perpetrated by a "dog". Sometimes it's the loving husband, wife or significant other...it does happen and it does hurt everyone. This song was written to say that love can survive even when the trust is shaken. Big Thanks to Ryan Bynum for playing the keys, thanks to Mario Dawson and Eric Johnson for you involvement and input. much love.

lyrics

THE LETTER

MAYBE I JUST WAITED TO LONG
TO TELL YOU HOW I FELT INSIDE
MAYBE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS WRONG
WAS JUST TO HARD A HIT TO MY PRIDE

AND ALL YOU’VE BEEN IS YOURSELF
AND ALL YOU EVER NEEDED FROM ME
WAS SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN..
AND SHOW YOU, YOU COULD LOVE AGAIN.

HOW COULD I DO WHAT I’VE DONE
I CANT BELIEVE I LET YOU DOWN
FOR A THOUSAND DAYS YOU’VE BEEN THE ONLY ONE
HOW DID I GET SO TURNED AROUND

AND ALL YOU EVER SHOWN IS YOUR LOVE
AND ALL YOU EVER NEEDED FROM ME
WAS SOMEONE TO PUT YOUR FAITH IN
AND SHOW YOU, YOU COULD LOVE AGAIN

I WROTE THIS LETTER, BUT I THINK I BETTER READ IT OUT LOUD
AND BE MAN ENOUGH TO SAY THE WORDS SINCE I WAS MAN ENOUGH TO SNEAK AROUND
AND BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOUR PAIN, THE TEARS I CAN SEE IN YOUR EYES
ALL OF THIS HURT, YOU DON’T DESERVE..


MAYBE I JUST GOT A LITTLE SCARED, THIS RESPONSIBILITY
TO FINALLY FIND SOMEONE WHO REALLY CARES
ACCEPTING EVERYTHING ABOUT ME

AND ALL YOU’VE EVER BEEN IS MY FRIEND
AND ALL YOU EVER NEEDED FROM ME
WAS SOMEONE TO CONFIDE IN
AND SHOW YOU, YOU COULD LOVE AGAIN

HOW COULD I LET SOMEONE ELSE IN,
I CAN’T BELIEVE I LET MYSELF DOWN
A THOUSAND DAYS DESTROYED WITH ONE KISS
HOW DID I GET SO TURNED AROUND
AND ALL YOU EVER SHOWN IS YOUR LOVE

AND ALL YOU EVER GAVE WAS YOUR HEART
AND ALL YOU EVER NEEDED FROM ME
WERE STRONG HANDS TO PLACE YOUR LOVE IN
AND SHOW YOU, YOU COULD LOVE AGAIN



CHORUS
WITH EVERY WORD THAT I READ TO YOU
ANOTHER PIECE OF MY LIFE I SEE LEAVING YOU
I REMEMBER THE DAYS, I REMEMBER THE NIGHTS
AND OUR LONG TALKS TOGETHER.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE THE SUN?
AND THE MORNING OF…DAY NUMBER ONE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I DON’T WANNA BE ALONE
CUZ I.
CHORUS..
VAMP.
