The Letter

Little girl what I wish I could tell you
How many rivers I've seen you cry
All these needless scratches on your lovely surface
How I wish you'd stop wasting your time

So many nights I'd kiss you on the cheek and say don't worry
Cause one day these nightmares will end
And all these hollow projections finally die out
One more piece you still need to find to mend

I'd whisper in your ear.

You are all you need, not me, not him
Pick yourself back up and be your own best friend
Cause when it comes down to it, when you're really going through it
Stripped of all your pride, dead inside, who's gonna come to it
You are all you need, not him, not them
Don't matter how it hurts just take it all in
and wish yourself luck hold yourself a little closer
Life completes these cycles again and again

These sad arrows raining down like warfare
Carving waterfalls down your face
And oh, how I know that only space and time and spirit broken
Can take you out of this darkest place

So please don't give up girl, you deserve it
Just try to fill those smoky eyes with light
And feel how unbreakable unmistakable each note gives, you live unshakeable
Come on take back those keys to your ride

(repeat Living for you... (repeat)
