Red Letters

I wrote your letter in red ink
On a crinkled page of white
And I tried so many times
To avoid this moment for the sake of pride
But I wrote them, I wrote them in red
These thoughts of mine, they’ve been killing me
So I force 'em down to keep from suffocating
But how can I breathe, I tried to bury them deep
I feel them eating me alive this could be the end of me
I wrote them in red
I feel this constrict in the back of my throat
And all at once I regret all those things I wrote
They awakened all my doubts, all my shame, and all my fears
All the things that I’ve been holding onto, holding back for years
These thoughts of mine, they’ve been killing me
So I force 'em down to keep from suffocating
But how can I breathe, I tried to bury them deep
I feel them eating me alive this could be the end of me
I wrote them in red
These thoughts of mine, they’ve been killing me
These thoughts of mine, they’ve been killing me
These thoughts of mine, they’ve been killing me
So I force 'em down to keep from suffocating
But how can I breathe, I tried to bury them deep
I feel them eating me alive this could be the end of me
I wrote them in red
I wrote your letter in red
