When you sit by yourself at the end of the day

And there's nowhere to go you got nothing to show for who you are

Up is down and you fumble around for your drink

And it hurts just to think

Then you open my letter



Dear love, I'm writing this letter now to tell you how I feel

When the words just won't come

Dear love, I'm writing this letter now to tell you how I feel

When talking just ain't right



The house where you live is no comfort to you 

And the life you lead is fast

There's no one to share it and you just can't bear it

So you hide in your glass

You go to pack up your bag and then you take a drag of that last cigarette

But you don't feel better, so you open my letter



Dear love, I'm writing this letter now to tell you how I feel

When the words just won't come

Dear love, I'm writing this letter now to tell you how I feel

When talking just ain't right



It's 11 o'clock and you need to talk but there's no one there but you

Yes you've taken enough and it's gonna be rough, but you do what you must do

So you stoke up a fire and you call me a liar then you throw it into the blaze

And you feel much better, then you open my letter



Dear love, I'm writing this letter now to tell you how I feel

When the words just won't come

Dear love, I'll write you this letter now, I hope that you can see,

Just what you've done to me
