The Letter Lyrics

You been through the wringer

Where's the happy soul

With the joy in his eyes

Thomas, tell me have you seen him

No

How the hell did you

Get so low in this life

You dove right off the deep end

You never finished sinking

And I been stuck here thinking

How I can save you

But until recently

I ain't have the answers

And it affected you

And my silence

Was just as bad as neglecting you

Cuz you needed somebody

And it should've been me

Cuz if one of us don't make it

Then the other can't be

Damn

I hate it took me so long

And life has left you jaded

They say better late than never

But I ain't finna say it

Cuz the damage was done

And I can feel it as well

So as we heal

From this story we tell

I gotta say

I'm sorry I wasn't better to you

And I'm sorry for everything you went  through

I'm sorry I didn't know what to do

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for leaving you with no plan

And I'm sorry I wasn't a better man

I'm sorry, and I hope you understand that

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I need you stop it

Several different times

Had the world

In your hands

And yet

You chose to drop it

Yeah

Now you're living bad

Tryna scramble

For chances

I ain't tryna down you

All I wanna do is crown you

I know this life has drowned you

But I'm gonna save you

Cuz we can make it

See

I know you're sick of the pain

Cuz I am too

Tired of the fires that we braved

And we ran through

They left us with scars

That haven't healed in years

And unpacked trauma

That we concealed in tears

I know that

This life been far from a crystal stair

But I promise I'ma get you there

I know you were stuck in the dark

And I missed you there

But I see the top

And I'ma lift you there

But first I gotta say

I'm sorry I wasn't better to you

And I'm sorry for everything you went  through

I'm sorry I didn't know what to do

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for leaving you with no plan

And I'm sorry I wasn't a better man

I'm sorry, and I hope you understand that

I'm sorry

I'm sorry
