(Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue)
|
When I began this letter I had hopes I wouldn't cry
|
But I always knew it would cause me more than a stamp to tell you goodbye
|
Puttin' pain on paper mailing all my hurt to you
|
Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue
|
|
Now this pen lets me say the things I could never say to you
|
But these shaky lines would look as sad in any shade of blue
|
Puttin' pain on paper...
|
|
I'm glad this ink is permanent it proves I'm not all done
|
Cause if tears could wash these words away you wouldn't know who they're from
|
Puttin' pain on paper...
|
Crying in permanent blue
