Today We Win - Dear Me Lyrics

Dear me
Back when you were only sixteen
Feeling that the world was changing
Again

Dear me
You didn't understand what was happening
And it felt like the world was crumbling
Around you

And I'm sorry that those things you felt
Weren't only just a cry for help
That maybe there would be somebody else
To notice that you're hurting

I'm sorry that I didn't know
Who to talk to or where to go
I'm sorry for the pain I left inside
Bottled up and buried to hide
I'm sorry for the time that passed you by
Wasting so many years of our lives

Dear me
Flash forward now you're eighteen
Laying in bed feeling like you're fading
Away

Dear me
Down the pills you're escaping
Ambulance sirens are screaming
Outside

And I'm sorry that those things you felt
Weren't only just a cry for help
That maybe they'd react to something else
To notice that you're hurting

I'm sorry that I didn't know
Who to talk to or where to go
I'm sorry for the pain I left inside
Bottled up and buried to hide
I'm sorry for the time that passed you by
Wasting so many years of our lives

Dear me
It's ok that everything's changing
Now you get to be the person you'd be
Proud of
