The Letter I Never Sent - Breaking Rust
Sat at the kitchen table alone
Wrote your name at the top of the page
Line after line of what you'd done
Every hurt, every ounce of rage
Anger flowed like whiskey strong
Easy words I could defend
Folded tight like I was right
The letter I was gonna send
Left it there for days and nights
Like proof that I was right
I wrote you as the one to blame
Like I was clean and you were chained
But read it back in quiet light
And something didn't sit right
Most of those lines were fear and pride
Truth I kept locked up inside
It wasn't you I couldn't mend
It was a man who'd never speak
In the letter I never sent
Said you pulled away too soon
Said you never understood
But I stayed silent when love thinned out
When I should have said what I should
Swallowed words till they went cold
Let distance grow without a fight
Called it strength to hold it in
But silence costs us every night
Hard to face the honest part
When the mirror showed your heart
I wrote you as the one to blame
Like I was steady, you were flame
But truth don't hide in black and white
It waits for you in quiet light
I was absent in my own defense
Too afraid to show offense
So I watched those pages bend
In the fire of the truth I found
With the letter I never sent
Watched the paper turn to smoke
Felt the habit start to choke
Didn't burn it to forget
Didn't burn it out of regret
Burned it so I'd finally see
What I'd done to you and me
Now I see it with pen in hand
No more urge, no more grand
First time I don't need pretend
I ain't writing you again
I'm writing who I've always been
Ashes cold, table clear
Truth don't shout, it lingers here
Blame went up in smoke that night
Left me alone with what is right
The letter's gone but I can stand
A better man than who I sent
