yellow paper clip.

There is a letter for you
In my jewellery case
Folded in place
With a yellow paper clip

Should you ever ask for it
I would surrender it
I would do anything
I have surrendered

I have always been so proud
I was raised to be a princess
But here I am
Begging for mercy

And if she ever demanded it
She can also read it
Let the whole world read it
I was never good at secrets

I loved and lost you
Both of you
And I cannot bear being
The villain of your story

Should you ever want to know
What I have to say
I took great pains
In writing you

In writing a letter
That will never find its way to you

I have a letter for you
In my jewellery case
Folded in place
With a yellow paper clip

But I know, somehow
That you will not ask.
And I will never have the chance to tell

I know
That you don't want to know
You don't want to think of me

But I have a letter
In my jewellery case
Folded in place

Waiting for you.
