Write Back

Write back, I'm never gonna write back

Forever I might write to you

And never send it too

Because you don't deserve to read the words

In a flash, my heart went out and got smashed

You told me that I wrote with cash

Now my hopes have crashed

And my email cache is trash

Write back, I'm never gonna write back

I guess I knew that I

Was telling you goodbye

Surprise surprise

I didn't see it in your eyes

That I was provisional

We were divisible, not a metaphysical thing

Write back, I'm never gonna write back

I guess I knew that I

Was telling you goodbye

When I didn't reply to your reply

To my reply to your reply to my reply

To your reply to my letter

If that was all that it took

To let you off of the hook

Are you grateful that I made you feel better

Never should've written the letter

Right back, where I started on the wrong track

How could I have seen before

Laughing on your porch

I would have to carry a torch

Guess what, now you know how tough I'm not

I didn't want to lose so soon

Do you remember the moon

That we found among the clouds

Write back, I'm never gonna write back

I guess I knew that I

Should've known that I

Was telling you goodbye

When I didn't reply to your reply

To my reply to your reply to my reply

To your reply to my letter

If that was all that it took

To let you off of the hook

Aren't you grateful that I made you feel better

Never should've written that letter

Never should've mailed the letter

I'll never reply to your reply

To my reply to your reply to my reply

To your reply to my letter

Never reply to your reply

To my reply to your reply to my reply

To your reply to my letter

Never reply to your reply

To my reply to your reply to my reply

To your reply to my letter
