Letters
Cardle Matt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Letters" by Matt Cardle takes on the topic of communication, specifically sending messages from the heart. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being honest and true in these messages, as that is the only way to see a situation through. The singer asks the recipient to send all of the letters, indicating a sense of urgency in needing to understand and process what is being communicated. The phrase "set in stone, forever" suggests that the messages are significant and meaningful, and should be treated with care.
The second verse mentions the potential for hurt feelings when receiving these messages, but the focus is ultimately on the emotions attached to them. It seems that the singer would rather hear the truth than have it hidden from them. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of sending messages to the heart, highlighting the importance of emotional honesty.
Overall, "Letters" is a touching and emotive song that encourages open and truthful communication. It conveys the idea that the only way to truly connect with someone is to communicate from the 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.
