I waited each day for your letter
Although I knew what it would cause
But, dear, when it came, I knew that your game
Had been won and I knew that I had lost

But I just couldn't open your letter
I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown

I wanted to open your letter
To see if you missed me sometimes
But you have a way of makin' me pay
'Cause I know what you write between the lines

But I just couldn't open your letter
I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown

(Instrumental Break)

You know I'd be so glad to see you
In spite of the hurt that you've done
But deep down inside I can't lose my pride
And forgive you just 'cause you're the one

I just couldn't open your letter
I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown
