The note was short, but Lord, so strong
It simply said, 'I can't go on and live a life
With someone I don't love'
He couldn't tell me face to face
Oh, but how my world was changed

By the hand, that held the pen
That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one
That really loves you
My tears fell down like falling rain

But they can't wash away the pain
How can I go to sleep, not lyin' in your arms?
You didn't mean to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand, that held the pen

That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one
That really loves you
With one stroke of the pen
You wrote off all my dreams

Erasing all the plans we made together
There's no one that I can blame
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand, that held the pen
That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one
That really loves you
