In this song, Elise shared her thoughts about a breakup she went though. The lyrics tell a story about someone breaking up with you, but you wishing them the best anyways, despite being heartbroken.
Although she has shared many original songs on her YouTube channel, this song is Elise’s second song...
[Verse 1]
You broke my heart once
Ain’t gonna let you break it twice
Even though I still think
That you’re really kinda nice
You shut me out, it’s as simple as that
Then you showed up in the evening and wanted me back
I’m confused, I’m so sorry, it’s too late to rejoin the party
[Chorus]
I could write a song that’s sweet enough to tell you
All the things I didn’t get to say
You never got to read the letters that I wrote for you
Such a shame, that all my beautiful words went to waste
Such a shame
[Verse2]
You had it so easy
You had me wrapped around your finger
Am I stuck in your thoughts?
Or are you hoping I don’t linger?
I still dream every night and you’re always there
Yes, you’re haunting me, doesn’t seem very fair
[Chorus]
I could write a song that’s sweet enough to tell you
All the things I didn’t get to say
You never got to read the letters that I wrote for you
Such a shame, that all my beautiful words went to waste
On you, but you probably don’t care
[Bridge]
Four letters sit there in a drawer
Collecting dust, just like my record player was
And I tried to recall a time
Before I sang the blues and the music felt alive
Thank you for being kind
For giving me the best time of my life
Thanks for the memories
I really kinda wish that you didn’t wanna leave
But you can, and you did
Now you’re crying ‘cause you took me for granted
[Chorus]
I could write a song that’s sweet enough to tell you
All the things I didn’t get to say
You never got to read the letters that I wrote for you
Such a shame, that all my beautiful words went to waste
On you, but you probably don’t care
[Outro]
I hope you’re happy anyway
I hope you have a smile on your face
I hope you’re happy anyway
What I would give to see that smile on your face
