Hmm… mmm…

Hmm… mm-mm…

(piano fades in, slow and cold)

Letter I Never Sent

Verse 1 (letter tone)

I’m writing this knowing you’ll never read

Still feels better than letting it bleed

I saw the end every time you smiled

Still stayed… guess I liked the denial

You packed your future inside your eyes

I pretended not to see the goodbye

Every laugh was a borrowed day

Every “stay” was a word you wouldn’t say

Pre-Chorus

I loved you with a deadline on my chest

Counting down while you got your rest

Chorus

This is the letter I never sent

From a heart you already left

I regret loving you

Not because it wasn’t real

But because I loved you

Knowing one day I’d feel this empty still

Verse 2

You said “forever” like a passing thought

I held it close like it was all I got

I memorized your leaving tone

Before I ever slept alone

I was a home you visited

Not a place you lived in

I stayed loyal to the pain

You stayed honest about the end

Pre-Chorus

I broke myself so you’d feel free

Funny how love can abandon me

Chorus

This is the letter I never sent

Every word is full of regret

I regret loving you

‘Cause I knew you’d go

And now I’m here

Learning how to be alone

Bridge (very dark, almost whisper)

If loving you was a sin

Then loneliness is my hell

I talk to your memory

‘Cause it listens better than anyone else

I don’t hate you… that’s the curse

I just hate who I became first

Final Chorus (soft but heavy)

I regret loving you

But I’d still choose the pain

‘Cause before I met you

I was lonely in a different way

Outro (piano only, humming returns)

Hmm… mmm…

If you ever feel this song

Know I stayed longer than I should’ve

Hmm… mm…
