Verse 1
Dear Darlin', please excuse my writing.
I can't stop my hands from shaking cos I'm cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.
Pre Chorus 1
And if my words break through the walls
and meet you at your door, all I
Could say is:
"Girl, I mean them all."

Woman: I get where you're comming from.

Been thinking about the bar we drank in
Feeling like the sofa was sinking.
I was warm in the hold of your eyes.

So if my words break through the walls,
to meet you at your door, all I could
Say is:
"Girl, I mean them all."
