The Letter Songtext

von Kehlani

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 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 dug for cover

And you ran from the truth
And like kids do
You 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.
