Lyrics

VERSE 1:
A girl wrote a letter and sent it away to a boy she'd been seeing a while
She lay on her bed with an ache in her head as she anxiously awaits his reply
Word got around that the roofs coming down and our boy had a feeling inside
His heart hit the floor and his eyes grew sore as her read through it line by line

CHORUS:
Dear Arthur, I never meant to hurt you I never meant to lie
The truth is I dont kneed you and I believe its time
I got myself together and went a different way
Im sorry if I hurt you, Ive felt this for days
Dear Arthur, my dear Arthur

VERSE 2:
Weeks went by and theres still no reply, the girl got to thinking again
Had he jumped to his fate from the empire state or secretly made a new friend
Two blocks away on a subway train sits a boy with his hands in his coat
Though hes feeling much better, hes gripping a letter a girl that knew him once wrote

CHORUS:
CHORUS:
Dear Arthur, I never meant to hurt you I never meant to lie
The truth is I dont kneed you and I believe its time
I got myself together and went a different way
Im sorry if I hurt you, Ive felt this for days
Dear Arthur, my dear Arthur
