A Letter To My Younger Self (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]
I know you're scared leavin' this home
But you're not that used to livin' alone
You're not that used to speakin' your mind
You're too used to waiting in line
For others, that's okay, don't think about it
Every second that you do, you dude, you don't doubt it
Every minute that you let them win, it's time wasted
Every hour you're not present, I'm sayin', I'm sayin', ah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get too far in your own head when you shout
We'll smile in front of all the things we used to worry about
And I know it may not seem like it, but we figured out
How to live on the run when your heart weighs a ton, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I wrote a letter to my younger self
I hope you read it when you don't feel well
I hope this helps
I hope this helps
When things around you feel they can't get worse
If you won't describe the pain and how it hurts
I hope this helps
I hope this helps (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's okay, continue to pray
You don't have a plan you will one day
Don't have a job you'll get one soon
A wife and a house you'll get that too
All that you gain you'll equally lose
You'll toughen your brain you'll get out the blues
Realize high school things get a little less serious
And your heart gets curious
For a little something, for a life of loving
For a life of love, love, love, love
For a little something, for a life of loving
For a life of love
Two, three, four

[Chorus]
I wrote a letter to my younger self
I hope you read it when you don't feel well
I hope this helps
I hope this helps
When things around you feel they can't get worse
If you won't describe the pain and how it hurts
I hope this helps
I hope this helps

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get too far in your own head when you shout
We'll smile in front of all the things we used to worry about
And I know it may not seem like it, but we figured out
How to live on the run when your heart weighs a ton, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I wrote a letter to my younger self
I hope you read it when you don't feel well
I hope this helps (Yeah)
I hope this helps
One, two, three, four
I wrote a letter to my younger self
I hope you read it when you don't feel well
I hope this helps
I hope this helps
When things around you feel they can't get worse
If you won't describe the pain and how it hurts
I hope this helps
I hope this helps
