Verse 1:
Dear little one, can you hear my voice?
I’m sorry for the times I drowned out your choice.
You tried so hard, gave it all you had,
But the mirror showed a face that just felt so sad.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m sorry for the scars,
The weight of all your fears,
You carried all your burdens,
And you wiped away your tears.
Spend your days in silence,
Fighting waves of rage,
But let this letter find you,
Turn the page.
Verse 2:
I was a prisoner, trapped behind your eyes,
Chasing every shadow, wearing every disguise.
Perfection was a prison, a cruel, glimmering chain,
But little did you know, you were never to blame.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m sorry for the scars,
The weight of all your fears,
You carried all your burdens,
And you wiped away your tears.
Spend your days in silence,
Fighting waves of rage,
But let this letter find you,
Turn the page.
Bridge:
Time will teach you lessons, and you’ll rise from the ash,
Learn to embrace the flaws that fade away so fast.
You’re more than just the tears, more than what you see,
A warrior of the night, let the light set you free.
Chorus:
Oh, I’m sorry for the scars,
The weight of all your fears,
You carried all your burdens,
And you wiped away your tears.
Spend your days in silence,
Fighting waves of rage,
But let this letter find you,
Turn the page.
Outro:
Dear little one, know it’s okay to feel,
You’re beautiful and broken, you’re perfectly real.
Embrace every shadow, let the light enter,
You’re enough, you’re worthy, my greatest adventure.
