Stefano - The Letter Lyrics

I never knew what love was, just a word I heard in passing
Grew up fighting shadows, always scared of what might happen
You walked in like a sunrise, something warm I never had
And for once, I thought that maybe, life ain't meant to be this bad

But I pushed you, I hurt you, I made you cry at night
Told you to block me, told you to go, but never told you why
I was scared of how you saw me, scared of what you think of me
Cuz deep down, I'm just a kid, lost somewhere inside

I know you're also sorry, but we're nothing alike
You had hands to hold you, I had empty nights
Tried to change the story, tried to heal the scars
But you can't fix something when it's broken from the start

I see your name in everything, hear your voice inside my mind
But I know I let you down, know I left you all behind
And if I could take it back, if I could turn back time
I'd hold your hand, I'd tell you now, you were always right

I don't need your pity, don't want you to feel bad
I just need you to understand, I hate the past we had
I hate the way I made you feel, I hate I made you sad
I swear to God, I'd change it all, if I just had the chance

I wish I could rewrite the moments, take back what I said
Erase the nights you felt alone, the tears that you shed
But life ain't like the movies, we don't get a second scene
All that's left are echoes of the love that might've been

But thank you for the lessons, for showing me the way
For making me a better man, for teaching me to change
I never meant to hurt you, never meant to make you cry
I just didn't know how to react, didn't know how to say goodbye

I see your name in everything, hear your voice inside my mind
But I know I let you down, know I left you all behind
And if I could take it back, if I could turn back time
I'd hold your hand, I'd tell you now, you were always right

But I pushed you, I hurt you, I made you cry at night
Told you to block me, told you to go, but never told you why...
