She turned 21 in April
You know her birthday's the same as mine
When we first met she'd never left Texas
She was young and so confused
She got caught up in the bright lights
The whiskey, pills and all those late nights
From the mountain where we were standing
She fell so far that she could not see
And I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you and I won't follow
Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
I heard from a friend you went back to Corpus
You always loved that ocean air
I know that you know, that I'm headed down that way
Don't worry cause I won't call
It'd be strange for me to see you
You know there's so much left unsaid
Like I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you and I won't follow
Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
I said I'd pick you up but I only let you down
I wrote you a letter while in Corpus
And it took everything I had
Went down to the pier, and looked out across that bay
I took that letter, then I watched it burn away
And I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you and I won't follow
Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
I said I'd pick you up but I only let you down
