The crumbling of paper The burning of ink The breaking of hearts
Tear tear tear That love letter apart
Silence is golden No word And no prayer
Tear tear tear That love letter apart
Don't say it again And again and again Its going to wear thin Don't let them see The tears on your chin
Tear tear tear That love letter apart Before it begins
...
But my hands won't listen And my heart doesn't mind the breaking And my soul likes writing With burning ink best This love won't crumble This paper can't tear I can't stop dreaming Of what I'm feeling Every time I put Pen to paper To write That love letter That no hand or fate Could Tear tear tear Apart And I just have to say it From the highest mountain And deepest seas From above the clouds And off the wings of birds From the songs of heaven And the seductions of hell I have to say it again and again Because its the only Truth that I have And truth that I know I'll say it with my last Dying breath And say it again From my ghostly dust I'll say it forever And forevermore
