  • Oh, oh (yeah) hey, oh

    Wrote him a goodbye letter today
    With conviction in every stroke
    Licked the envelope and sent it away, yeah-yeah
    Wanted to do it the old-fashioned way
    Didn't want no text or tweeting
    Wanted him to feel every word that I say, heu

    Boy, I hope these tears I cried
    On the paper don't dry
    'Fore it make it to your side (your side)
    I want you to know what it feels like (feels like)
    When your heart is done, I'm so tired (so tired)
    I hope when he reads these words
    This hurt I feel bleeds through
    Before the ink dries (ink dries)
    I want you to know what it feels like (feels like)
    When your heart is done, I'm so tired (so tired)

    So I need you to
    Hurry, hurry please Mr. Mailman
    Overnight it if you can
    I need you to feel me, feel me
    This is a special delivery, 'livery
    Whoa, hurry, hurry now before I take it back
    Before he cleans up his act
    I need you to feel me, feel me
    This is a special delivery, 'livery
    Got me saying whoa, special delivery
    This is a special delivery

    Hey, funny how words take a life on their own
    When you said you love me
    That's what I believed
    But I was so wrong, baby
    Boy, in your arms I never felt more alone
    But now that I got me back
    Got my heart on track
    I'm moving on

    Boy, I hope these tears I cried
    On the paper don't dry
    'Fore it make it to your side (your side)
    I want you to know what it feels like (feels like)
    When your heart is done, I'm so tired (so tired)
    I hope when he reads these words
    This hurt I feel bleeds through
    Before the ink dries (ink dries)
    I want you to know what it feels like (feels like)
    When your heart is done, I'm so tired (so tired)

    So I need you to
    Hurry, hurry please Mr. Mailman (please)
    Overnight it if you can
    I need you to feel me, feel me (yeah)
    This is a special delivery, 'livery
    Whoa, hurry, hurry now before I take it back
    Before he cleans up his act
    I need you to feel me, feel me
    This is a special delivery, 'livery
    Got me saying whoa, special delivery
    This is a special delivery
