Letters I Wrote

if you never see sunlight again
and the sun turns black and makes you so afraid
can you find the light
within to fight the night

letters i wrote to myself

daddy said son you don't know peace till you fight a war
i told him it's a shame she still walked out the door
using only tears just to mop the floor
but you peaceful now
but you peaceful now
but you peaceful now
but you peaceful now

if you never see sunlight again
make sure you stare the devil in the face
tell him you're only passing through the gate
and leave the rest to faith

letters i wrote to myself

mammy said dry your eyes child
you don't know pain, no not yet child
i wasn't gonna be there forever
you wasn't gonna be there forever

let me tell you what you gon' find there
let me tell you something about it
making love to something on fire
leave you reaching for the cold water
you can love him till your heart blister
you can give him all that you came with it
but making love to something on fire
leave you reaching for the cold water
you can find a way to withstand it
tell her that you really don't mind it
but making love to something on fire
leave you reaching for the cold water
look inside and tell me i'm lying
you can try your best to deny it
but making love to something on fire
leave you reaching for the cold water
leave you reaching for the cold, cold water
leave you reaching for the cold, cold water
