you tried to qualify my life
  You never knew the way I live
  And I'm sorry I was never for changing
     the things I couldn't change anyhow
  And I'm sorry I'm not a different sign
  And I don't believe in hiding the people
     and the things in my past
  And I know you don't want to hear me say
     I wish that we were together again
  We just couldn't make it work on paper
  I'll never know why but you never knew me
     except for my name
  Maybe you think that I have changed
     but nothing can change my mind
  Those changes of your own that you held so dear,
     to me were just a waste of time
  Making believe we know it all without enough of
     an understanding going on
  All of the words won't change your mind
  'Cause they're lost when you put the
     letter back in the drawer
  If I stood before you now,
     you couldn't put me away anymore
  Letters don't count
  Letters don't, letters don't count
  Letters, letters don't, letters don't count
