Letters
Syd Lyrics

So I read all your letters
She read every single letter that was written by her lover.

I read every word
She read every word mentioned in the letters she received.

And I took all the best ones
She kept all the letters that had the best memories and emotions written in them.

Circled every word I heard
She marked every word in the letters that had a profound impact on her.

If I'd heard it in a phone call
She wonders if the love between them could have been saved if they had talked about their problems on call.

Or I heard it in a song
She thinks that their relationship could have been saved if they both listened to a song together that had their emotions and feelings embedded in it.

And as I walked to your apartment
She was walking to her lover's place.

I tried to figure what went wrong
She was trying to analyze the reasons that led to the decline of their love and relationship.

There was a party that night
On a particular occasion, there was a party happening.

I walked in uninvited
She walked in without an invitation to the party.

Was a girl in the corner
She saw a girl sitting in the corner.

Who looked like she liked me
The girl sitting in the corner seemed interested in her.

And I didn't know her name
She did not know the name of the girl who was interested in her.

But she said she knew mine
The girl in the corner knew her name.

And nothing really mattered
She realized that nothing else mattered at that moment.

And that was the first time
That was the first time she cheated on her lover.

And I remembered your voice
She remembered the voice of her lover.

And I remembered what you said
She recalled what her lover had said.

And I remembered how this killed me
She was hurt by her actions and remembered how it affected her.

With every tear that I bled
She cried a lot and was deeply hurt.

With every step came a memory
She was reminded of all the memories of their relationship with every step she took.

And every breath sang along
She was singing along every breath that she took.

And as I walked up to your front door
She was walking up to the front door of her lover's apartment.

I think I knew where I went wrong
She realized that she made a mistake by cheating and that was the cause of the decline of their relationship.

Remembered every word she said
She remembered everything that the girl at the party had said to her.

Remembered everything I'd left
She also remembered everything that was left between her lover and herself.

And her eyes are clear like those tears that She gave me
The girl's eyes were clear and resembled the tears that she had shed.

And so it starts over again
She cheated again and her relationship got back to where it started.

That was the next time
That was the next time that she cheated on her lover.

A party that night
On some other night, there was a party.

That's the last time
She promised that would be the last time she would cheat on her lover.
