Lyrics

Dear darl in’,

please ex cuse my writ ing.

I can’t stop my hands from shak ing

’cause I’m cold and a lone to (Am)night.

I miss you

and noth ing hurts like no you.

And no one un der stands what we went through.

It was short.

It was sweet.

We (Am)tried.

And if my (F)words break through the wall

and (G)meet you at your door, all I can say is, (F)“Girl, I mean them all.”

Dear darl in’,

please ex cuse my writ ing.

I can’t stop my hands from shak ing,

’cause I’m cold and a lone to night.

I miss you

and noth ing hurts like no you.

And no one un der stands what we went through.

It was short.

It was sweet.

We (F)tried.

We (C)tried.
