Lyrics
Verse1
I remember when
I saw him walk in
Knew that it was love
Though we started out as friends
No matter how I try
I could not deny
That he stole my heart
With that twinkle in his eye
Gave him everything
Every part of me
He became my life like the air that I breathe
And every night I pray
Thanking God he came
?Til I found the letter that he wrote that day
Pre Chorus
And the letter says how much he missed you
And that he would be with you soon?
Chorus
He never even mentioned me in his letter
Never told you that I was in his life
But he couldn?t wait to get back to you
And one day soon you would be his wife
And then he wrote he loved you only
When I read it, it tore me apart
I wish I never found that letter
That he signed with all his heart
Verse2
Water filled my eyes
Really hurt my pride
Knowing everything that he told me was a lie
Wondered just how long
This had been going on
First I blamed you but now I see that was wrong
As I tried to sleep then it came to me
All the running late all the dates he couldn?t keep
And then I knew what I had to do
I knew I had to write this letter to you
Pre Chorus
And this letter says how much I love him
And I know you must love him too
Chorus2
So I?m sending you this letter
To let you know that we both have been played
You see he would be here spending time with me
Then he?d be with you the very next day
I bet he promised you forever
And that nothing would keep you apart
?til you get this letter that I?m writing with a broken heart
Rap
Stop me in my tracks
I had to write you back
What to do
Gotta choose
To believe my man or you
I showed him the letter
He denied the allegations
Since he couldn?t do better
I got mad and lost my patience
Now its plain to see
That he was playing games with me
Promises he couldn?t keep
Leaving town every week
So I gave my man the boot
The day that I learned the truth
Yeah, the day I got this letter from you
Pre Chorus
The next morning I gave him his letter
And I told him that we were through
Chorus3
So by the time you get this letter
Know that he would be well on his way
Girl, I?ve shed the same tears you cry
And I?m sorry that I caused you pain
But when he says his love is forever
And that nothing would keep you apart
Just show him this letter
The letter that broke your heart
Chorus? repeat
