Every Word I Write

Today I bought myself a brand new pencil

I picked up a yellow legal pad

It's gonna take at least that many pages

To write you of the bad times that I've had

Just so there's no mistake about me leavin'

Goodbye will be the first word that I'll write

Writing this is gonna be so easy

Remembering all the lonely nights I've cried

I wish that I could hide and watch you read this

Oh I'd like to see the look that's on your face

At first you'll smile and think that I'm only jokin'

But the smile will fade and a tear will take its place

When you read the part where I no longer love you

You'll try your best to think between the lines

But I'm gonna make it plain enough to show you

If I have to write it down a thousand times

But every word I write comes out I love you

I'd like to say it's over but no matter how I try

Every word I write comes out I love you

Yes I've loved you much too long to say goodbye

Yes I've loved you much too long to say goodbye
