Letters
Cardle Matt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Send a message, to my heart
Tell it everything, from the start
Make it honest, make it true
It’s the only way, we’ll see it through

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavor
To be told

Send a message, to my heart
Send a message to my heart
With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear
Send a message to my heart

Break it gently, or break me down
Don’t say anything, don’t make a sound
Actions, although they hurt
It’s the feelings, that really burn

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavor
To be told

Send a message, to my heart
Send a message to my heart
With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear
Send a message to my heart

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavor
To be told

Send a message to my heart
Send a message to my heart




Send a message to my heart
Send a message to my heart

what a beautiful God-given talent. I am a new fan as I live in the US. I am thankful Matt is still with us after his struggles with addiction. A tough road but God has a plan for him and isn't ready for Matt to leave us yet. He's got work to do.
