Lyric

Don't Burn the Letter

Nocturne Echo

I left it on the chair

Folded, pale and clean

Your name still on the crease

Like a bruise of green

One line I couldn't say

One truth I couldn't hold

It shook inside my hands

Then turned to dust and gold

So if your heart is tired

And your hands are trembling

Hold it like a secret

Let it keep on breathing

Don't burn the letter

Don't let it turn to smoke

Don't burn the letter

It's all I never spoke

Keep it a little longer

Keep it where you are

Don't burn the letter

It still knows who we are

I heard the winter rain

Tap the windowpane

Like fingers on the glass

Calling out your name

Maybe it's too late now

Maybe not for this

Some things are just paper

Some are just a kiss

So if your heart is tired

And your hands are trembling

Hold it like a secret

Let it keep on breathing

Don't burn the letter

Don't let it turn to smoke

Don't burn the letter

It's all I never spoke

Keep it a little longer

Keep it where you are

Don't burn the letter

It still knows who we are

If you must let go

Let the night decide

But leave one fragile page

Somewhere by your side

I can live with silence

I can live with rain

I can't live with watching

Love go up in flame

Don't burn the letter

Don't let it turn to smoke

Don't burn the letter

It's all I never spoke

Keep it a little longer

Keep it where you are

Don't burn the letter

It still knows who we are

Don't burn the letter

Don't burn my heart
