Alecia Nugent - Paper and Pen lyrics

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 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 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
