The Letter

I can hear your laugh

It's ringing through the hallways

I can see your smile

It's what gets me through my hard days

And your words were supposed to get me through my heartache

Before my heartbreak

There's an emptiness that only a few ever feel

And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real

And it compliments my scars that will never heal

Maybe I didn't deserve you

Maybe I just couldn't cure you

They told me that I didn't hurt you

Why do I feel like I turned you?

Maybe I don't understand it

Tell me is this how you planned it?

Did you see us so stranded

Maybe I'm too much to manage

And if you weren't gonna guide me

Why bring me into the light?

Must have done something

To make you want to run and hide

Why, oh, why didn't you just live your life?

And every girl needs a mother

And, damn it, I needed you

Instead, you ducked for cover

And you ran from the truth

And like kids do, you waited around for proof[Chorus]

Maybe I didn't deserve you

Maybe I just couldn't cure you

They told me that I didn't hurt you

Why do I feel like I turned you?

And maybe I don't understand it

Tell me, is this how you planned it?

Did you see us so stranded?

Maybe I'm too much to manage

Maybe I didn't deserve you...
