Paul Baribeau
Eight Letters
From the album "Unbearable," 2010
[Verse 1] (palm mute heavily throughout)
The Gfirst letter I wrote you was way too long
Way too crazy, way too scary, way Ctoo sad
The second one I wrote you was way too short
Just said, "I love you, baby, please come Gback."
The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle
Somehow it didn't quite sum it all Cup.
The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do
We both know that was never good Genough.
[Chorus]
Oh, I had nAmothing nice to say,
I sCaid it anyway.
I made myself feel a little Gbetter
Oh, but Amin the end, I guess,
It was probably for the Cbest
That I never bothered sending you Gthose letters.
[Verse 2]
The Gfifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke
You probably wouldn't think was very Cfunny
The sixth one that I wrote you was a strictly business note
Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent Gmoney
The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic
it would have made your little boxer shorts Cmelt
But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.
I just curled up and cried all by Gmyself
[Chorus]
Oh, I had nAmothing nice to say,
I sCaid it anyway.
I made myself feel a little Gbetter
Oh, but Amin the end, I guess,
It was probably for the Cbest
That I never bothered sending you Gthose letters.

Eight Letters

From the album "Unbearable," 2010

[Verse 1] (palm mute heavily throughout)

The first letter I wrote you was way too long

Way too crazy, way too scary, way too sad

The second one I wrote you was way too short

Just said, "I love you, baby, please come back."

The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle

Somehow it didn't quite sum it all up.

The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do

We both know that was never good enough.

[Chorus]

Oh, I had nothing nice to say,

I said it anyway.

I made myself feel a little better

Oh, but in the end, I guess,

It was probably for the best

That I never bothered sending you those letters.

[Verse 2]

The fifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke

You probably wouldn't think was very funny

The sixth one that I wrote you was a strictly business note

Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent money

The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic

it would have made your little boxer shorts melt

But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.

I just curled up and cried all by myself

[Chorus]

Oh, I had nothing nice to say,

I said it anyway.

I made myself feel a little better

Oh, but in the end, I guess,

It was probably for the best

That I never bothered sending you those letters.
