I wrote you a letter but I threw it away
I knew I would, I would if I waited a day
It made me feel better, what I had to say
I knew it would, it did but I waitedI hardly bothered, though I labored all day
I work so hard, there's no time left to please you
The day I decided I had nothing to say, I'll never learn
I'm burning all this paper awayA rhythm in your walking tree
It's a tapestry of pride you're weaving
Over, under, ropes of wonder, tie me to a chairI'm dirty feet on your clean white shoes
I'm the man of the mess that greets you
Been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hairI think it's time you let me go
I'm too in love, let me go
I think it's time you let me go
I'm too in love
I think it's time you let me go
I'm too in love, let me goA rhythm and you're walking true
It's a tapestry of pride you're weaving
Over, under, ropes of wonder, tie me to a chairI'm dirty feet on your clean white shoes
I'm the man of the mess that greets you
Been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hairI wrote you a letter, but I threw it away
I knew I would, I would, if I waited a day
It made me feel better, but I have to say
I'll never learn, I'm burning all this paper awayI'm burning all this paper away
I'm burning all this paper
