"Letter To Self" lyrics

"Letter To Self"

I gave you everything, my blood, sweat, hope and tears
You took my hopes and suffocated them to fears
A sweeping roaring hand brushes against my chest
If that's what the world's got to give, I'll give as good as I get
But I am alive
But I am alive
But I am alive
But I am alive
But I am

I gave it all
But you were never happy
Gave you my life
But you were never happy
Oh, I cried and cried
But you're still not happy
If I sacrificed
Would you be happy?

I can shake the leaves of hereditary
I can shake the leaves of hereditary

I gave it all
But you were never happy
Gave you my life
But you were never happy
Oh, I cried and cried
But you were never happy
If I took my life
Would you be happy?

Maybe my body don't look like yours
Maybe my happy don't look like yours
Maybe my life don't look like yours
Maybe my wife won't look like yours
Maybe my body don't look like yours
Maybe my happy don't look like yours
Maybe my life don't look like yours
Maybe I don't wanna look like you

And what I see
Doesn't have to be
I don't have to take the path that was carved in front of me
I always had the willing
Now I'll find the way
Any habit can be broken
Any night can become day
