JUST A LETTER

Written & Composed by Ron Tremper



(Verse 1)
Thoughts stuck, head spinning
Still dealing with you leaving
Staring holes in my laptop screen
Your name typed, then deleted
World's sleeping, it's 3 A M.
Jack keeps filling my glass
Finally wrote "I'm doing fine"
Then I, shook my head, at that

(Chorus)
Oh, this ain't, just a letter
Each line feels like one landmine more
Do I say I miss your sweet laugh
And your dog on my front porch
Or do I tell you 'bout this lonely bed
Where I passed out in my jeans
It's more than email, it's the weight
Of all our busted dreams
I'm one heart shy of together
Oh no, this ain't, just a letter

(Verse 2)
Half box of takeout on the counter
Your heart magnet on the fridge
Missing you on our love seat
Dusty boots by the back steps
I write, "Hope you found better"
Then enlarged "better" three, four times
'Cause you said I wasn't enough
And couldn't be mine

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Maybe healing's in the writing
Not in the sendin'
Don't know if this will stay here, or go to trash
All I know is I want, everything we had back

(Chorus)
Ohh, this ain't, just a letter
Each line is one landmine more
Do I say I miss your sweet laugh
And your dog on my front porch
Or tell you ‘bout this lonely bed
Where I passed out in my jeans
'Cause it's more than email, it's goodbye
To my love, my best friend
This ain't, just a letter
I can bring myself to end
'Cause I’m one heart shy of together
No this ain't
Just a letter

(Tag)
Ohh no, this ain't
Just a letter
