Cadillac Jack - The Letter

You been through the wringer
Where's the happy soul
With the joy in his eyes
Thomas, tell me have you seen him
No
How the hell did you
Get so low in this life
You dove right off the deep end
You never finished sinking
And I been stuck here thinking
How I can save you
But until recently
I ain't have the answers
And it affected you
And my silence
Was just as bad as neglecting you
Cuz you needed somebody
And it should've been me
Cuz if one of us don't make it
Then the other can't be
Damn
I hate it took me so long
And life has left you jaded
They say better late than never
But I ain't finna say it
Cuz the damage was done
And I can feel it as well
So as we heal
From this story we tell
I gotta say

I'm sorry I wasn't better to you
And I'm sorry for everything you went  through
I'm sorry I didn't know what to do
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for leaving you with no plan
And I'm sorry I wasn't a better man
I'm sorry, and I hope you understand that
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I need you stop it
Several different times
Had the world
In your hands
And yet
You chose to drop it
Yeah
Now you're living bad
Tryna scramble
For chances
I ain't tryna down you
All I wanna do is crown you
I know this life has drowned you
But I'm gonna save you
Cuz we can make it
See
I know you're sick of the pain
Cuz I am too
Tired of the fires that we braved
And we ran through
They left us with scars
That haven't healed in years
And unpacked trauma
That we concealed in tears
I know that
This life been far from a crystal stair
But I promise I'ma get you there
I know you were stuck in the dark
And I missed you there
But I see the top
And I'ma lift you there
But first I gotta say

I'm sorry I wasn't better to you
And I'm sorry for everything you went  through
I'm sorry I didn't know what to do
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for leaving you with no plan
And I'm sorry I wasn't a better man
I'm sorry, and I hope you understand that
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
