[Verse 1]I've kept everything you sentAnd everything you saidIn the back of my headI've held onto the wordsEven though they hurtCause it's what I have left of you[Pre-Chorus]The custom paper, the scripted lettersThe beauty of the words as they blend togetherThe pointed meaning between the linesAnd the filler of the white liesThe dirty things that you wroteOr the worse things that you spokeEverything was so cruel, but at least it was still from you[Chorus]I saved your black lettersSo I can rememberThe times we hadAnd I know it was badBut I still like to look backWouldn't be who I am without my past[Verse 2]I stay up at nightAnd read them all the timeRent free in my mindAnd some of them make me laughAnd some of them make me cryAnd some of them remind me why this wasn't right[Pre-Chorus]The custom paper, the scripted lettersThe beauty of the words as they blend togetherThe pointed meaning between the linesAnd the filler of the white liesThe dirty things that you wroteOr the worse things that you spokeEverything was so cruel, but at least it was still from you[Chorus]I saved your black lettersSo I can rememberThe times we hadAnd I know it was badBut I still like to look backWouldn't be who I am without my past[Bridge]Oh I miss how you'd writeAnd oh I miss our passionate fightsOh I know deep down you caredOh photographs of the time we shared[Chorus]I saved your black lettersSo I can rememberThe times we hadAnd I know it was badBut I still like to look backWouldn't be who I am without my past
