(Verse 1)
Hey there, little one, can you hear me now?
I’ve walked your path, I’ve worn your crown.
So many nights crying, feeling all alone,
In a world that felt like it swallowed you whole.
(Chorus)
I’m sorry for the times I didn’t see you try,
For the moments I let you cry.
You’re more than you know, don't you forget,
Perfection’s a lie, it’s not worth the debt.
(Verse 2)
I know you felt the weight of the world,
The shadows creeping in, dreams unfurled.
Darling, you’re enough, don’t ever say you’re not,
Life’s a beautiful fight, give it all you’ve got.
(Chorus)
I’m sorry for the scars that you felt you had to bear,
For every tear that fell, I swear I care.
You’ll rise from the ashes, you’ll break from the cage,
The beauty in your flaws will turn a new page.
(Bridge)
You’re lost in the dark, but you’re fighting your way,
With every step forward, you’ll find the light of day.
Hold on to your heart, let the love just pour,
A beautiful mess, you’re worth fighting for.
(Chorus)
I’m sorry for the doubts that shadowed your way,
For never feeling good enough, every single day.
Believe me when I say you’re perfect as you are,
Your scars tell a story, you’ve come so far.
(Outro)
So here’s my letter, a hug from the past,
You’re stronger than you think, this too shall pass.
Keep on fighting, keep on trying to be,
The beautiful soul that you’re destined to be.
