Paper and Pen - Alecia Nugent

作词：Jerry Salley

作曲：Jerry Salley

There's a letter in a shoe box

In a dresser she keeps locked

But she's never read it

All the way through

It was the last one he wrote her

She was sure it was over

From all that he told her

In the first line or two

He said times are hard now

Got some things left to sort out

And a man in his freedom

Don't easily part

That's where she stopped reading

Her soul was bleeding

So she choose her weapon

And went for his heart

With paper and pen

She got her last words in

I never loved you was the lie

She wrote him

He couldn't believe

The reply he received

What a sad tragedy for

Good love to end

Ar who needs a knife when

You can take someone's life

With paper and pen

Well they say he went crazy

In just a few days he

Got on the bottle and

Went out of his mind

To this day she don't know

In the letter that he wrote

He asked for her hand

In the very last line

With paper and pen

She got her last words in

I never loved you was the lie

She wrote him

He couldn't believe

The reply he received

What a sad tragedy for

Good love to end

Who needs a knife

When you can take someone's life

With paper and pen

Oh who needs a knife

When you can take someone's life

With paper and pen
