a letter to me

Used to be held captive by my fears
Shackles on my wrists like souvenirs
Lost myself in anything
Couldn't see the ending through my tears

Used to hold my tongue and play along
Only knew that I had to be strong
Lost my own identity
Didn't know what in my world was wrong

Sugar-coated all my pain
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid then, begging for a break
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone
Running from the person I created when I had no one

Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy
Writing to the person I wanna be
In a letter to me
In a letter to me

So I'm done letting myself bleed
In a spiral of my own self-pity
I'm done searchin' for remedies and people who don't care about me
Yeah, there's a lot of things I don't know (don't know, don't know)
But I know that I'm on my way to finally bein' okay, alone

No more sugarcoating all my pain (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Couldn't help it, I was just a kid, begging for a break (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Now I'm twenty, pushing twenty-one, hoping that I'll be someone (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Running from the person I created when I had no one (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)

Twenty pushing anxiously, hoping that I'll be happy (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Writing to the person I wanna be (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
In a letter to me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
In a letter to me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
In a letter to me
