Letters Don't Count

Ever since the last time I saw you
 You tried to qualify my life
 You never knew the way I live
 And I'm sorry, I was never for changing
 The things I couldn't change anyhow
 And I'm sorry I'm not a different sign
 And I don't believe in hiding the people
 And the things in my past
 And I know you don't want to hear me say
 I wish that we were together again
 We just couldn't make it work on paper
 I'll never know why but you never knew me
 Except for my name
 Maybe you think that I have changed
 But nothing can change my mind
 Those changes of your own that you held so dear
 To me were just a waste of time
 Making believe we know it all
 Without enough of an understanding going on
 All of the words won't change your mind
 'Cause they're lost when you put the letter back in the drawer
 If I stood before you now you couldn't put me away anymore, oh
 Letters don't count
 Letters don't count
 Letters don't count
