lyrics

I read it again your final letter
It made no more sense this time ‘round
I read it again jumble of letters
And a breeze could’ve knocked me right down

Like a truck doing 75
Through a school zone in some urban dive
No-one who’ll be missed just like me got that gist
And I’m all out of tricks to contrive

So I read it again your final letter
That you left in the spokes of the bike
I read it again your final letter
Trying to find out what you so disliked

About this from A right through to Z
Like a joke that went over my head
I can’t see what’s burned or while you’ll not return
To pure badness that left you wasted

So I read it again your final letter
But I still can’t find what set this off
So I read it again your final letter
The words hard though the paper is soft

And we’ll never know what might have been
If a better effort was put in.
But the reason’s unmentioned, the bones of contention
Are buried with their kith and kin
I refolded and unfolded it
And I read it again
