Salty tears on a mostly blank page Because you chose to ignore me Down on my luck 'cause you didn't answer and the letter that you mailed It wasn't for me I tried to write the perfect letter I tried to sing the perfect song But every time I opened up my mouth It seems that those perfect words came out wrong [Chorus] I can only make so much sense With such little time I can only use so many words But they never rhyme Now that I see you time and time again It makes my heart skip and then some Because you chose to ignore me And the letter that you mailed it wasn't for me I tried to make the perfect phone call But somebody tapped my line They took the words right out of my mouth Why do I bother to waste my time? [Chorus] And I tried to write her a letter But the mailman said that she don't live here... anymore
