lyrics
We spent all our nights writing hundreds of lines
Got to know each other, spirit, heart, and mind
There wasn't a day
That would slip away
Not hearing from her and what she might say
Today is not like yesterday
We've not shared a word in months
Letters have stopped coming through
The silence came at once
You might hear me calling out
Please write to me
Please write to me
I need to hear you
I need to know what you're doing
You don't know what you're doing to me
To me, to me, to me
Now some time has passed and we've both moved on
Didn't feel like a choice, though—all was suddenly gone
She's started her new life
Without me in spite
But the hole in my heart gets wider each night
Today is not like yesterday
We've not shared a word in months
Letters have stopped coming through
The silence came at once
You might hear me calling out
As much as I wish you would write
I know all the reasons you don't
The last time you sent me a note
You said your goodbye, you said that you won't
Please write to me
Please write to me
I need to hear you
I need to know what you're doing
You don't know what you're doing to me
To me, to me, to me
