Whisky Blues Bar - Letter I Never Learned to Say (Chicago Blues Lyric Song)

#blues #chicagoblues #bluesmusic

“Yeah… this is the truth I should’ve said before.”

I wrote your name in the quiet of the night,
Rain on the window, but my guilt burned bright.
Words kept tremblin’ like a worn-out string,
Tryin' to tell you what my chest can’t bring.
I broke your peace, girl, with a careless tone,
And now I’m stuck here, hurtin’ on my own.

No excuse in the world can make this right,
But I swear I’ll change my ways tonight.

This is the letter I never learned to say,
A little truth I threw away.
I failed to hold you when you needed me near,
I raised my voice when love should hear.
Baby, forgive me—if your heart still may…
This is the letter I never learned to say.

Your memories tremble like a fragile flame,
And I fed the fire with my own shame.
You carried wounds you shouldn’t have to bear,
And I brought storms you didn’t deserve to wear.
If time could listen, I’d unwind every scar—
But I can only promise who I am from here on far.

I can’t undo the hurt I put in place,
But I’ll guard your heart with gentler grace.

This is the letter I never learned to say,
A broken man with dues to pay.
I hurt the one who held my soul,
I lost my grip, you paid the toll.
Darlin’, forgive me—if you find a way…
This is the letter I never learned to say.

If you'll take my hand, I’ll walk the line,
Give you the peace I stole last time.

This is the letter I never learned to say,
But I swear I won’t fade away.
If you give me one more chance to stand,
I’ll heal your heart with steady hands.
Baby, forgive me—if your heart still may…
This is the letter I never learned to say.
