Eight Letters Lyrics

Cover art for Eight Letters lyrics by Paul Baribeau

The first letter I wrote you was way too long Way too crazy, way too scary, way too sad The second letter I wrote you was way too short Just said, "I love you, baby. Please come back." The third letter I wrote you was right down the middle Somehow it didn't quite sum it all up. The fourth letter I wrote you, I did the best that I could do But we both know that was never good enough.

Oh I had nothing nice to say I, said it anyway, I made myself feel a little better. Yeah, but in the end, I guess, It was probably for the best That I never bothered sending you those letters.

The fifth letter I wrote you was one big, long joke You probably wouldn't think was very funny The sixth letter I wrote was a strictly business note Requesting you send me back those last two months rent money Oh but the seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic it would have made your little boxer shorts melt And the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write. I just curled up and cried all by myself

Oh I had nothing nice to say I, said it anyway, I made myself feel a little better. yeah, but in the end, I guess, it was probably for the best That I never bothered sending you those letters.
