letters don't count lyrics

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
...
