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 few ever feel
And I somehow missed
The meaning of love that is real
And it complements
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? Uh

And every girl needs a mother
And, damn it, I needed you
Instead, you dug for cover
And you ran from the truth
And like kids do
We waited around for proof

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?
Do you see us, so stranded?
Maybe I'm too much to manage

Maybe I didn't deserve you
