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   ...
