Layne Harper - The Letter lyrics

rate me

This song is dedicated to everyone who’s lost a love one,

A family, a friend,

And I know that’s everybody in this world,

This is a *suicide letter.

Had to reach deep in my soul for me to write this.

When you’re gone, don’t know what the value of your life is.

I’m trying to feel better as a write this,

But God damn, my eyes keep dropping these tears!

Rest in peace to anyone we lost over these years,

I mean no offence, I swear!

This song is for the suicide victims.

Pray to the most high that y'all would listen!

...Pretty smile with some pretty freckles,

Knew from the first day I met her she was special,

She introduced me to a cousin Ricky,

He’s a …

Was a lesbian, family accepted,

Her mom was the only one that would respect it,

Cause her life’s down, sometimes she felt neglected,

Rejected, protected, I hope I reached her world with this message.

(Suicidal, suicidal, suicidal)

Graduated from T.S.U, majored…therapy,

Her spirit is watching over... take care of me!

Found out she had cancer but wanted kids,

Searching for some answers for what she did.

Being contemplating for some months now,

I wish I could have stopped the suicidal somehow.

Let us say what to wear to her funeral,

Even had to close later for her funeral.

She caught her mom prayer,

I hoped she stopped it!

Her mom saw her feet hanging up the… closet.

August 15, 2009...committed suicide.

I try my best to keep this between you and I,

But this is a story I could not hold inside, let it write!

I try my best to hold back these fucking tears,

But I also lost many love ones over these years!

Sometimes I feel like killing myself and I won’t lie,

But then I think of my son so I don’t try.

…the bottom of my emotions, so I won’t cry,

But all they do is make me more bitter inside.

All the money in the world can still bring you pain,

All the stress in the world can start to eat at your brain,

Once you’re gone, then you’re gone, ain’t no life…

Think about it!

We are here, cause Jesus Christ saved us!

I wanna be known as a life changer,

Man, I’m trying to be a life changer!

...We love you,

We miss you, we regret that you were taken!

Whether you're with God or with Satan,

Tell them both that the world is waiting!

Whether you're with God or with Satan,

Tell them both that the world is…
