The Tragic Letter (The Letter That You Left) - Lefty Frizzell

Oh I saw someone but it wasn't you They said witty jokes, wore thrifted clothes And no one knows, they're everything I miss Oh I met someone but it wasn't you There are hints of you in everything they do In everything they do I've spent the last 6 years Trying to get over you But when I met you yesterday I just had to ask you this Cause I'm naive and I'm silly And I fall in love a little too quickly But tell me if we were to fall back in love Would you fall just as easily? Seasons changed Yet you remained In the back of my head Reasons fade But I've still stayed To hear you say "I've fallen in love Six different times But if I'm being frank They were all you" Cause I'm naive and I'm silly And I fall in love a little too quickly But tell me if we were to fall back in love Would you fall just as easily? Would you fall just as easily? I'll meet someone and it won't be you We'll grow old together And I might get over you

I'm supposed to shake his hand and walk all smiling Make believe that you don't mean a thing to me I'm supposed to offer my congratulations but I'm not the man that I supposed to be I'm supposed to make believe I won't miss you And forget the times you held me tenderly I'm supposed to tell the world it never happened But I'm not the man that I supposed to be I'd rather stand up and fight for what's mine And to give you up it's just too much for me So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting That I'm not the man that I supposed to be [ Piano ] So if I don't shake his hand...
