Letters you're leaving me here, dear, alone with all your letters
you're letting it go, no, like innocence and feathers
you're putting it down, sounds slipping into songs
you're leaving me here, dear, alone with all my wrongs
you're pulling away, pray, you're making the right choice
you're pulling away, stay, and listen to my voice...to my voice

sooner or later you will long, when you wake you will see
sooner or later all the songs that make you shake will be by me
sooner or later all the throngs of feelings we used to appreciate will come rushing back

you're thinking about how you thought you knew me better
you're looking around town and wondering how I met her
you're pulling away, pray, you're making the right choice
you're pulling away, stay, and listen to my voice...to my voice

sooner or later all the throngs of feelings we used to appreciate will come rushing back
when you wake you will see

don't wake me as you leave
don't make me believe I have a chance in hell
don't tell me what I know too well
don't wake me

as you're leaving me here, dear, alone with all your letters
don't let go of your innoncence and feathers
now I find every song reminds me of our song
since you left me here, dear, alone with all my wrongs...with my wrongs
