She left home when she was eighteen years old
how she felt so old
now she's left empty with a broken smile
these things they take a little while
But she keeps on moving with her head in the air
she's strong though no one seems to care
he tries his hardest to by her side
hold onto her, it's one hell of a ride
oh, hold on stick by her side
I wrote you a letter
you deserve better
'cause even a letter won't do to see you through
oh, I wish I could hold onto you
But these starry nights
and the freedom that they bring
are the only thing
that keeps me from the sting
the moonlight on the rocks
the what if and have nots
but a letter on the heart is one hell of a start
Oh, a letter on the heart is a start.
