On a clean piece of paper
You said you're sorry
I didn't care
I didn't worry
On a crumpled piece of paper
You said you loved me
I never received it
So it was never acknowledged
On torn scraps of paper
You said goodbye
You couldn't send it
And I couldn't reply
On the smoke of paper
You said I need you
But I wasn't there
I wasn't aware
With the ash of paper
You wrote me a letter in black
That you missed me
Although by the time I got it I couldn't say it back
