Witt Lowry - Last Letter lyrics
[Witt Lowry - Last Letter lyrics]
This might be the hardest song
I've ever had to write
Yeah, I dreamt about you last night
I only see you when I close my eyes tight
Yeah, I wish I told you how
I felt before you left
But it just never felt right yeah, crying
I wish I told you everything before you left
I won't forget the day that they
Found the growth in your chest
The cancer took ahold of your
Body and then it spread
I talk to you more now than
I ever did I'm a mess
This song will never capture the
Pain that I could express
I learned from you that nothin' is perfect
But try your best i know you had your demons
A younger me didn't get
And out of all our demons
Our biggest might be regret
Relate more than ever
Remember back when I would only
See you every other week
And every other Wednesday
You would take us out to eat
Mom and you had split
So we're livin' in between
Looking up the word "divorce" to
Understand what it could mean
But I don't understand
Mom is with another man
You been drinkin' heavier
To me was just another can
Culture full of broken homes
We were just another fam
Coulda left like other dads, you
You had another plan so you stuck around
Dealt a life that you
Probably would never choose
You bottled it inside and that
Bottle turned into booze
The Jäger took ahold and your
Body took the abuse
But finally found sobriety
Cried when I got the news
I know, been hurtin' more than I show
Inspired by your story
Couple things you should know
I met this girl at my show
Teared up by what I was told
She said, "I'm sober 'cause of you
You do way more than you know" and I said
And I said, "Ohh
Please grant me the serenity
To accept everything I cannot change"
You, you always told me that
Do anything to have you back, see you one day
I, I wonder if you see me when I fall, yeah
I wonder if you hear me now at all
Maybe if the world plays
This through speakers
I'll be loud enough to reach you
And you'll hear my last letter for you
And I don't understand how you
Would stay so optimistic
You started chemo, fought the battle
Never quit that really left an imprint
And we would talk about our
Lives and after this
How we would live 'em different
See, Mom and you would
Put your differences aside
Every day she would visit
See the love and your vision
See the hurt in your smile
Your wisdom is what I'm missin' the most
I'll never be ready to let you go
I've never felt so helpless
It's outta both our control
You told me how you wanted to travel
Next year you'll go
And your body had become fragile
Not once did you lose your soul
We were told
It was progressin' and you had
Less than a week
True love is every tear when we
Told you we had to leave
And how we would converse
And not once did we need to speak
Then, one day in late October you
Passed away in your sleep
I been cryin' when I think about it
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
And now I live without it
I told you music was my passion
And you never doubted
And people tell me they relate, but nah
I truly doubt it
Remember cryin' on your grave and
Yellin' up to you
"How did I lose my way?"
I won't forget that summer were
Some of my darkest days
Was asking for a sign
Sat in my tears and prayed
When I saw the sign you sent me that day
Was forever changed
I know, I know, I shoulda been a better me
Would blame me when we argue
I said things I didn't mean
Me and you are who our issues
Should have always been between
So I'm sorry for the lack
Of communication from me
I just wish that you were here
So you could watch me win a Grammy
But more importantly to build a family
I hope I make you proud and
Become everything I can be
I hope they play it loud and send
This letter where I can't reach
Sincerely, Mark
And I said, "Ohh
Please grant me the serenity
To accept everything I cannot change"
You, you always told me that
Do anything to have you back, see you one day
I, I wonder if you see me when I fall, yeah
I wonder if you hear me now at all
Maybe if the world plays
This through speakers
I'll be loud enough to reach you
And you'll hear my last letter for you
