Lyrics

I know you wrote me so many letters
letters that never arrived
Every trip to the mailbox meant so much more
Knowing what wasn't inside

I know you thought so many words
Words you swallowed whole
Just like the birds, it's true of your words
They mean more when you let 'em go

(chorus:)

Any old girl can think she's in love
And spit out the words right there
But it takes a special kind of heartfelt woman
To act like she never did care

I know you wrote me a poem
I saw you burning it last night
You must have spent weeks on the words
Still couldn't get 'em right

I know you would have held my hand
If you were the hand-holding type
Instead you just put yours a hair's breadth away
And left it there all through the night

(chorus)
