I dont need it but I might feel better I knew we wouldnt last forever [Verse 3] The road will sweep me in its undertow Ill lean into the wind and let it blow And letting myself miss you still feels better than somehow letting go So tell my mama that Im coming on home With a suitcase full of dirty clothes To forget for a while what Ive always known [Chorus] Hey there, honey. would you write me a letter? I dont need it but I might feel better I knew we wouldnt last forever
