Ever since the last time I saw you, you tried to qualify my life You never knew the way I live And I'm sorry I was never for changing the things I couldn't change anyhow And I'm sorry I'm not a different sign And I don't believe in hiding the people and the things in my past And I know you don't want to hear me say I wish that we were together again We just couldn't make it work on paper I'll never know why but you never knew me except for my name Maybe you think that I have changed but nothing can change my mind Those changes of your own that you held so dear, to me were just a waste of time Making believe we know it all without enough of an understanding going on All of the words won't change your mind 'Cause they're lost when you put the letter back in the drawer If I stood before you now, you couldn't put me away anymore Letters don't count Letters don't, letters don't count Letters, letters don't, letters don't count
