[Intro]
Truly Yours
That's what the letter said
[Verse 1]
As I read the words written in your letter
The tears began to rise
I could read between the lines, though you thought it was better
Not to use the word, "Goodbye"
And I struggled to hold my pride, finally I broke down and I cried
Your letter ended
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
Though you signed it Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
I'm left behind
[Verse 2]
Now, it's painfully clear that you been concealing
Your feelings behind lies
And I feel so foolish to have ever believed you
And to think I even cried
But the one thing I'll never understand
How you'd find the nerve to take a pen in your hand
And sign your letter
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
How did you sign with Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
Just mean you been lying
[Verse 3]
Although you're gone and I'm-a left alone
And we are far apart
The shell of a man that you discard behind
Still love you with all his heart
But the one thing I'll never understand
How to find the nerve to take a pen in your hand
And sign your letter
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
How did you sign with Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
Though you signed with Truly Yours
You're no longer truly, truly mine
Truly Yours
That's what the letter said
[Verse 1]
As I read the words written in your letter
The tears began to rise
I could read between the lines, though you thought it was better
Not to use the word, "Goodbye"
And I struggled to hold my pride, finally I broke down and I cried
Your letter ended
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
Though you signed it Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
I'm left behind
[Verse 2]
Now, it's painfully clear that you been concealing
Your feelings behind lies
And I feel so foolish to have ever believed you
And to think I even cried
But the one thing I'll never understand
How you'd find the nerve to take a pen in your hand
And sign your letter
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
How did you sign with Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
Just mean you been lying

And we are far apart
The shell of a man that you discard behind
Still love you with all his heart

How to find the nerve to take a pen in your hand
And sign your letter
[Chorus]
Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
How did you sign with Truly Yours
When you know that you were never truly mine
Truly Yours
But you're no longer truly, truly mine
Though you signed with Truly Yours
You're no longer truly, truly mine
