letters that never came

letters that never came
sentences never spoken
hearts like promises 
are broken
but still you keep
your dreams wide open
you keep on hoping
you keep on hoping

for letters that never come
words you'll never hear
day after silent day
love is never near
but soon you'll say
you've had enough
it's just too rough
you're not that tough

but the night ends
and the sun still rises
like it hasn't heard
there's no surprises
and the day begins
like the day before
and soon you'll learn
to hope once more

letters that never came
sentences never spoken
hearts like promises
are broken
but still you keep
your dreams wide open
you keep on hoping
you keep on hoping
