A Letter Goodbye A new moon has just been born
As I lay here with the phone
You promised me that you'd call
The phone hasn't rung at all
Could it be you've not found time?
To call this phone of mine
Or don't you love me anymore
Is that why you haven't called?
I've missed you since you went away
On your summer holiday
I just wished you'd hurry back
To my waiting arms
Still my phone doesn't ring
I may as well just give in
The promise you made, you've now broke
And my heart you've now broke
How could you not even call?
After the things we've been through
I hope you're having a real swell time
Now you've broke this heart of mine
I honestly thought you really cared
After all the times we've shared
Now that love is just a joke
Maybe our love was just a joke
I fall asleep holding the phone
I hope to wake to the ring of the phone
The following morning I awake
Knowing your promise was just fake
I check the display of the phone
No missed calls are on my phone
I hear the postman bring the mail
I spot a letter sent from your hotel
I open it to see what you say
I'm not prepared for what you say
I have to sit down while I read your note
My chest feels so tight I start to choke
I look down at what you say
I can't believe you've told me this way
Darling I don't love you anymore
Is the start of your note
Forgive me for telling you like this
I just can't go on living like this
My love for you has completely gone
I feel we should both move on
Please don't try to contact me
Please just leave me be
Please don't come to my home
When I've flown back home
I hope in time you will forgive
The way I've told you how I feel
I'm sorry but I have to go
From the one that you know
That is all your letter says
Those words repeat in my head
You don't know how I now feel
But it explains why you didn't ring
I never thought you'd be that cruel
Treating me like a fool
I've got to live with the idea
That you'll never be coming back here
Now I'm all alone
I thought our love had really grown
How am I meant to live my life?
Now that I feel like I've just died
I hope you're happy with what you've done
You'll never know the damage you've done
I hope you feel as bad as I
I'm glad you're not here to see me cry
