Ryan Tedder - The Look

Think I'm In Love (Feat. Pleasure P) Explicit

Letters in the Dark

[Verse 1]
I wrote you a letter
but the ink ran thin
like the silence between us
where the hurt’s been living in

Your coat still hangs
like a ghost in the hall
I touch the sleeve gently
and it says nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your memory
in a glass by the bed
sip it down slowly
like the words we never said

[Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corners paper bent—
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Verse 2]
I see you in strangers
the tilt of their smile
but it fades like a flicker
like the moon after miles—
the nights are too quiet
the mornings too long
I hum our old verses
but they don’t make a song

[Pre-Chorus]
Your absence lingers
like a hand on my chest
pressing so softly
but it won’t let me rest

[Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corners paper bent—
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Bridge]
Would you forgive me
if I never let go—
would you still haunt me
just to tell me so—
every word I wrote
is a scar on the page
bleeding with silence
burning with age

[Final Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corner paper bent
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Outro]
So goodnight my dear—
goodnight my ghost
You were the wound
and the cure I wanted most

Letters in the Dark

The Things You Do

My love,
Don't you know you're all
That I think of
Many days have gone
I'm away from you
Said you'd be at home
Just waiting' by the phone
I still ain't talk to you

My love,
Thought we understood
that my heart's true.
I'm running out of time
Girl I need you
I spent up my last dime
I'm not gon' sleep tonight
'Til I hear your voice

Chorus:
Where is my rose?
The one I gave to you
Where is my rose?
Don't say we're through
Where is my rose?
You know I'm missin' you
Has it wilted in the cold
Where is my rose? (yeah, yeah)
Where is my rose?
(Ohhh)

My love,
Remembering your eyes
When I kissed you
Still lingers in my mind
How I wish to
Cross the miles so wide
But hold you close tonight
I need to know

Chorus:
Where is my rose?
The one I gave to you (The one I gave you)
Where is my rose? (Please, don't say)
Don't say we're through
Where is my rose?
You know I'm missin' you (Missing you)
Has it wilted in the cold
Where is my rose?


Don't wanna say goodbye
Not supposed to cry
So I got to let her know
No, I just can't let her go

Chorus:
Where is my rose?
The one I gave to you
Where is my rose?
Don't say we're through (Don't say we're through)
Where is my rose? (No, no)
You know I'm missin' you (Missing you, baby. Missing you, baby)
Has it wilted in the cold (Missing you, baby!)

Chorus:
Where is my rose?
The one I gave to you (The one I gave you)
Where is my rose? (Please, don't say)
Don't say we're through
Where is my rose?
You know I'm missin' you (Missing you)
Has it wilted in the cold (Tell me where's my rose?)
Where is my rose?

My rose, my rose, my rose, my rose
Where is my rose?
My rose, my rose, my rose, my rose
Where is my rose?
My rose, my rose, my rose, my rose

Has it wilted in the cold?
Where is my rose...
