“Letters I Burned” by MoodyLoe - Zona

Lyrics

Hook (melodic w/ pain tone)

I wrote you letters that I never sent (never sent)

Burned 'em up, let that fire vent (let it go)

You left a scar where the blessing went (deep cut)

Now I’m cold, and you still ain’t bent (numb)

I gave my heart, you gave me dirt (gave me dirt)

Put my love in the trunk, now I’m back on alert (vroom)

Every ‘sorry’ just a hollow word (cap)

So I turned them lies into letters I burned (whoosh)

---

[Verse 1 – Emotional but grimy, real street pain]

I used to pray you’d change, now I pray you fade

Used to call you kin, now you just a phase

You switched sides like shoes on the power line

Sayin’ we was fam — that was all a lie

Heart colder than the judge with the no bail

You broke the code — I ain’t talkin’ bout the voicemail

I was ten toes, now I'm four deep

Other six on edge, we don’t lose sleep

Gave you game, now you mimic me in silence

Told secrets that I bled for — that’s violence

Now my trust like a jail door — sealed tight

And I ghost 'em all like it's midnight flight

🎵 Hook (repeat with more vocal layering)

I wrote you letters that I never sent (never sent)

Burned 'em up, let that fire vent (let it go)

You left a scar where the blessing went (deep cut)

Now I’m cold, and you still ain’t bent (numb)

I gave my heart, you gave me dirt (gave me dirt)

Put my love in the trunk, now I’m back on alert (vroom)

Every ‘sorry’ just a hollow word (cap)

So I turned them lies into letters I burned (burnt up)

[Verse 2 – More lyrical, metaphor-heavy]

My loyalty a tattoo you couldn’t match

You was in my circle, now you just a scratch

Gave you the addy to my heart, you sent ops

So now every hug feel like a Glock with the safety off

You was cryin’ in the drought, I made rain

You was broke in the dark, I shared pain

You lit the bridge, thought I’d drown — nah

I built a boat out of the ashes, that's law

Now I slide with my silence, that’s power

You been dead to me, I just gave you flowers

Can’t patch what’s torn — we ain’t denim

All I got now is this flame and the venom

🎧 Outro / Spoken Word (faded beat, low reverb)

“Some words don't need replies.

Some people don’t deserve closure.

Sometimes... you burn the letter,

but you keep the lesson.”
