A Letter & Twenty Different Songs

I saw your best friend in the park
She says you're doing fine
You've been looking less worried
But you're no longer mine
She says that you've been drinking more
And dancing every night
And though the hangovers are worse now
You're doing quite all right

She says that you've been going out more
More than you used to
Eating at your favorite restaurants
And you can spare a few
And you've been hitting up the gym
For all your second dates
She said, "I hate to break it to you
But I think that you're too late"

So I'll write you a letter and 20 different songs
I'll write you a letter to tell you what went wrong
And I'll write you a letter to tell you you're the one
You might be off better whenever I am gone

And I know I had been the one that
Decided to part ways
And I've been hoping we could talk this
Through some other day
And now she said that it'd be better
If I would let you go
She said, "Oh, won't you please forget her
And talk to her no more?"

So I'll write you a letter and 20 different songs
I'll write you a letter to tell you what went wrong
And I'll write you a letter to tell you you're the one
You might be off better whenever I am gone

No, no, oh, whenever I am gone
No, no, oh, whenever I am gone
Drinking on my own
I'm waiting for this phone to ring, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, tell me that you've called
'Cause without you, I'm falling down again

I saw your best friend in the park
She says you're doing fine
Although you've been a little worried
About my state of mind
You've heard that I've been drinking more
Ending every night
Holding a photograph of you
And empty glass of wine

So I'll write you a letter and 20 different songs
I'll write you a letter to tell you what went wrong
And I'll write you a letter to tell you I'm the one
I won't be off better drinking on my own
