Lyrics Katharine McPhee

Katharine McPhee

Last Letter

I have a few words in defense of my youth

my regrets would fill an ocean or two

I was young I didn’t know what I was stumbling into

Dm

I’ve had a lot on my mind and there were so many rules

Makes a girl crazy, makes her break a few

And there I go again

Acting like its my fault

When you’re to blame

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little

To write this song

Its the very last letter

To an old lover

Dm

To say I'm glad you’re gone

Am

I’ve got snapshots of things on my mind

Dm

Though I love the past we don’t leave it behind

Gm

But I learned and now I know

I don’t need you coming around

One thing I should probably say

I got over it all, and surrendered the pain

Thats the thing about mistakes

You never see them coming

Until its too late

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little

To write this song

Its the very last letter

To an old lover

To say I'm glad

Sacrifice my happiness

Its not enough to know

I’m better off the way it is

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little

To write this song

Its the very last letter

Gm

To an old lover

Gm7

To say I’m glad

It makes me happy

To use you a little

Just to use you a little

To write this song

It’s the very last letter

To an old lover

To say I’m glad you’re gone.
