The Letter

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
