You Can'T Come Back

You send me letters
Send me roses
Send me tears
I do not know why
You think love will appear

It doesnt happen
Doesn't show up
Doesn't care
Love is a fickle thing
That will leave you bare

Don't send me letters
Don't send me roses
Don't send me tears
I haven't opened your gifts
For many years

You left me scarred
And broken
You also left me here
You are the reason 
Why love is my fear

You think I'll take you back
And love you
You think I'll care?
Your love is a burden
A burden I won't bare

Don't send me letters
Don't send me roses
Don't send me tears
I haven't thought of you
For many years

I'm sorry I'm just an emotional . . I've been through alot of that I just can't seem to keep my emotions in anymore. . When I get enough money my mom said that I could go anywhere for a week so I could make my trip be there since there is no where else I could go. .
