Written several letters now
All addressed to you
None have yet been delivered
For none say anything new

You never really said
Exactly how you felt
All you ever had to say
Was that I made you melt

You assured me that you cared
Though I never knew how much
It could've all been a joke
That seems to be my luck

Apparently I was the one
That didn't care enough
Apparently I didn't show
That I loved you this much

But I've never been good with words
Well not directly to your face
It's all much better on paper
Where errors can be erased

On paper I say exactly how I feel
Without worrying about consequences
It's how I first told you I cared for you
For rejection is relentless

I never really try at anything
I've been called a slacker
But you were different in my life
You were all that mattered

Everyone makes mistakes
I gave it all I could
I wish I would've known better
You certainly thought I should

You don't believe in second chances
I asked for one and you declined
But after all this time
Have you changed your mind

I had never been in love before
The feelings were all new
But you made love a chore
And yet I still love you

After all this time
I still consider you the only one
It would be a lie
If i told you I had another one

I miss you every second
And need you every minute
Think of you every hour
My heart is lost all in it

So how does it feel to know the truth
To know I really did care
How does it feel to finally know
That through all that I was just scared

One day you asked me to wait for you
So here I still stand
But my heart does have an expiration date
And back to Earth I will land
