| 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, oh | |
| Letters don't count | |
| Letters don't count | |
| Letters don't count | |
| ... |
