Author: Finn McKoolAdded: Dec 26 2000Views/Reads: 3942/2130Story vote: 0.00 (0 votes)
a little something i hammered out, to that someone we've all known, about something we've all done, that letter we've all written in our hearts to that person who'll never read it.
 



this is a letter you’ll never get 

this is a letter from a man you never met 

set back 

relax 

play a track 

and cut him a little slack 

he told me to tell you not to worry 

he told me to tell you he was sorry 

but he had to write one more time 

there was one more letter he had to sign 

and this one was to you 

he’s still under your voodoo 

that you do 

oh so so so well 

so what the hell 

here it goes again 

if lovin’ you is wrong he said 

he don’t wanna be right 

and its your name he hears 

in the still of the night 

what a sight what a shame to see 

and damn ain’t i  glad 

that man ain’t me 

that it’s not me who sees 

you every night 

in his dreams and it seems 

ain’t nothin’ right 

he says he don’t know 

what to wish for 

he says he don’t know 

what he wants anymore 

he knows he wants you 

but that wouldn’t be right 

cause what’s he gonna do 

when you ain’t in sight 

and outta his world 

that’s no way to handle a girl 

and he don’t wanna stop
