The Letter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bare skin and ink
You read my body like a picture book
But I didn't think
That I could ever feel this intimate
With someone
Oh, let my words be clear
This is a love song
Only for you my dear
Chest pressed to mine
I feel your heart sing a symphony
You may have stolen mine
But the last thing I need is sympathy
From someone
Oh, let my words be clear
This is a love song
Only for you my dear
It makes my stomach turn to think
I'm not the first to call you baby
And I've been struggling to find a way
To tell you what I've been thinking lately
That I know just how you touched her
I hear you breathing her in
I can't escape all the secrets that you told her skin on skin
She is the shadow I can't shake
I wish that I could let go
But she's a part of your past that I will never come to know
And here I write my confession
And tell you just how I feel
That hers is a history I'm so desperate to steal
But as I look to the future
It all becomes clear
That you are the muse to this love song
And I am yours my dear
So, let my words be clear
This is a love song
For only you my dear
