last time I wrote you I meant to say sorry

I didn't mean for your eyes to get starry

trying to say it got stuck in my throat

but I meant every word that I wrote



next time I see you I'm sure you'll be better

easily past the effects of my letter

it looks not so sad written down

and it lessens with each passing town



it's fragile

fragile like you

like you



breaking your heart was not what I hoped for

I've said too much and can't possibly say more

maybe that's not being fair

so it's lucky I'm here and you're there



put it inside your cigar box forever

and maybe someday you'll forgive me for never

doing what you wanted most

but you can't send true love through the post



it's fragile

fragile like you

like you
