## Lyrics
[verse]
I got your letter, read it in the kitchen light
Every word you wrote was fighting to be right
You told me stories that I never asked to hear
Painted up a picture just to keep me near

[chorus]
It's all there in your letter, babe
Every excuse you could think to save
But paper doesn't hold the way a voice can hold the truth
I need more than ink from you

[verse]
You write so pretty when you're far away from me
Funny how the courage comes when I can't see your face
A page can't hold you when the night gets long and cold
I need you here, not a story that you told

[chorus]
It's all there in your letter, babe
Every excuse you could think to save
But paper doesn't hold the way a voice can hold the truth
I need more than ink from you

[bridge]
Fold it up and put it away
There's nothing left that words can say
Come back and tell me to my face
Or leave the letter in its place

[chorus]
It's all there in your letter, babe
Every excuse you could think to save
But paper doesn't hold the way a voice can hold the truth
I need more than ink from you
