Paper and Pen
Love's Silent Demise: A Tale Unveiled through Paper and Pen
Lyrics
There's a letter in a shoe box
Introduction to a letter stored in a shoe box
In a dresser she keeps locked
The letter is kept in a locked dresser
But she's never read it all the way through
The recipient has never read the entire letter
It was the last one he wrote her
Describing the letter as the last one written by him
She was sure it was over
She believed the relationship was ending
From all that he told her in the first line or two
Initial lines of the letter suggested it was over
He said times are hard now
He communicated difficulties and unfinished matters
Got some things left to sort out
Implying challenges and unresolved issues
And a man in his freedom don't easily part
A man values his freedom and may easily part
That's where she stopped reading
She stopped reading as it became emotionally distressing
Her soul was bleeding
Her emotions were deeply affected
So she choose her weapon and went for his heart
She chose a metaphorical weapon to hurt him emotionally
With paper and pen she got her last words in
Expressing her final thoughts using paper and pen
I never loved you was the lie she wrote him
The lie she wrote: "I never loved you"
He couldn't believe the reply he received
His disbelief at her response
What a sad tragedy for good love to end
Describing the situation as a tragic end to good love
Who needs a knife when you can take someone's life
Metaphorical reference to the power of words over physical harm
With paper and pen
Reiteration of the impact of words using paper and pen
Well, they say he went crazy
Reports of his deteriorating mental state
In just a few days he
Quick descent into madness
He got on the bottle and went out of his mind
Alcohol abuse and loss of sanity
To this day she don't know
She remains unaware of his request in the letter
In the letter that he wrote
Highlighting the specific inquiry in the last line of the letter
He asked for her hand in the very last line
He asked for her hand in marriage
With paper and pen she got her last words in
Reiteration of her final communication through writing
I never loved you was the lie she wrote him
Repeating the false statement: "I never loved you"
He couldn't believe the reply he received
Revelation of his reaction to her message
What a sad tragedy for good love to end
Reiteration of the tragic nature of the relationship's end
Who needs a knife when you can take someone's life
Reinforcement of the power of words over physical harm
With paper and pen
Final emphasis on the impact of words using paper and pen
Oh, who needs a knife when you can take someone's life
Final statement on the power of words to harm with paper and pen
With paper and pen
Reiteration of the theme: words can be as lethal as physical harm
