Sun Goes Down

I got a postcard in the mail today
And on the back she wrote the words that she could not say
On the front a desert sky orange red and brown
She wrote will you think of me
When the sun goes down

She wrote it wasn't anything I did
To make her leave me all alone to raise both our kids
Said she cannot spend the night in that desert town
'Cause she always thinks of me
When the sun goes down

CHORUS
So hard to know
How long it's gonna take
To heal a heart that was never
Supposed to break

She said to tell her mother hi for her
And that she thinks of coming home but she's still not sure
Plays piano when she can but she hates the sound
And she always thinks of me
When sun goes down

So hard to know
How long it's gonna take
To heal a heart that was never
Supposed to break
What a mistake

I put that postcard in the fire tonight
Like all the others that she sends 'cause they're all alike
I closed the window and I pulled the shades all down
I'm not gonna think of her
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
