Patty Loveless Tear Stained Letter Lyrics

It was 3 in the morning when he took me apart
He wrecked my house and we wrecked my heart
Danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The stars aint never gonna mend in a hurry
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right the the door came my tear-stained letter.

Whoa, lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
Whoa, lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.

Well my head was spinning just a little too fast
It was writing checks that my body couldnt cash.
I jumped to my feet I was reeling and a dizzy.
I went for the phone but the line was busy.
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right the the door came my tear-stained letter.

Whoa, lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
Shoa, lord lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.

Now I like coffee and I like tea
But I just dont like this feeling in me.
It makes me nervous it give me the hives,
Looking for the truh in a pack of lies.
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right the the door came my tear-stained letter.

Whoa, lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
Whoa, lord lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
Whoa, lord lord lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
Whoa, lord lord lord lord cry and cry if it makes u feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
