Letter I Never Sent by Homemade Shine

Letter I Never Sent

Verse 1
I folded words in quiet lines, (hmm, yeah)
Hid them under fading signs.
Ink that trembled on the page,
A story locked, a quiet cage.
I watched the shadows in your room,
A gentle light that fades too soon.

Pre-Chorus
And every night I hear your name, (mmm)
A soft refrain I can’t reclaim.

Chorus
Letter I never sent, (ooh, ooh)
Full of love and sweet lament.
I held it close, then let it lie,
A whisper lost beneath the sky.
Every word I never spoke, (ah-ah)
Every promise I almost broke,
Drifts like feathers in the rain,
Carried softly through my pain.

Verse 2
Your name still hums in silent rooms, (mmm)
Like petals falling off in blooms.
I traced the corners of your smile,
And tucked my heart in there awhile.
I left a line on your doorstep stone,
A silent wish that I’d atone.

Pre-Chorus
And still the night keeps pulling me, (hmm)
Into your quiet memory.

Bridge 1
Maybe someday you’ll understand, (softly)
The trembling ink held my hand.
All the confessions I kept inside,
Like a river that refused to glide.
I never told you how I stayed awake,
Counting moments I couldn’t take.

Bridge 2
And if by chance you ever see, (mmm)
The shadow of what’s left of me,
Know the words were born of care,
A fragile heart laid softly bare.

Chorus (Extended)
Letter I never sent, (ooh, ooh)
Full of love and sweet lament.
I held it close, then let it lie,
A whisper lost beneath the sky.
Every word I never spoke, (ah-ah)
Every promise I almost broke,
Drifts like feathers in the rain,
Carried softly through my pain.
All my secrets, ink-stained and true,
Every thought that led to you.

Outro
Faded pages, soft and thin, (mmm)
The words I couldn’t let begin.
A quiet echo in the night,
My letter waits out of sight.
And maybe someday it will send,
A final line to make amends.
