The Heart Attacks - Tearstained Letters lyrics

(feat. Joan Jett) Just like a typical modern chick, You keep asking but you just don't stop I'm a cheat and I lie, it's not true But I do wonder why you pry How can I be happy, you never trusted me Make me do the things I do So young everyday, there goes another piece I'll soon dig my heart a grave I got your letter and it all came back to me Those tearstained letters are often so damn hard to read So things are bad, you grab your pen and pad As the tears roll off your cheek [Joan Jett] I can't go on leavin' my thoughts alone I can't read it, don't give it to me [Joan Jett] I'm writing and you know every word is true From your name at the top to the "I still love you" One day I'm gonna rip and tear them all [Joan Jett] These letters weren't meant to drag Down to the way things used to be When you trusted me and life was so easy [Joan Jett] Stay home and I'll show you, I won't be ill I'm sorry, but I don't know the way you feel I got your letter and it all came back to me Those tearstained letters are often so damn hard to read One day I'll get the courage to break away I keep saying things like this every day I'm off and I'm losing you [Joan Jett] But baby, I call so often I hear you calling, but I can't pick up [Joan Jett] I'm here and I'm oh so lonely Yeah, sure Yeah, I lie and I drink too much And I'm real damn hard to reach [Joan Jett] You know that together we can work it out Sometimes talking just drags me down To the way things used to be When you trusted me and life was so easy [Joan Jett] Stay home and I'll show you, I won't be ill I'm sorry, but I don't know the way you feel I got your letter and it all came back to me Those tearstained letters are often so damn hard to read
