DEAR ME

INTRO

Dear me…

Not the one standing tall right now—

but the kid trying to figure out how.

This is from the future you.

The one who lived through every storm you’re afraid of.

⸻

VERSE 1

You’re gonna trust people who ain’t built to stay,

You’ll break your own heart by giving too much away.

You’ll carry silence like armor, mistakes like chains—

Think every loss is proof you should carry the blame.

But listen—

you’re stronger than the nights that made you shake,

You’ll learn the difference between real love and fake.

Every scar you earn, every tear you hide

Becomes a map that gets you to the other side.

⸻

HOOK

Dear me—

you’re gonna stumble, you’re gonna break,

You’ll think it’s over more times than you can say.

But you don’t stop, and you don’t run—

You become someone you’d be proud of someday.

So hold on to the fire, hold on to the sun—

You don’t see it yet, but better days will come.

Dear me—

you survive what feels impossible to overcome.

Sincerely, the one you become.

⸻

VERSE 2

You’ll lose people you thought were forever,

But losing them might be what puts you together.

The pain that cuts deep, the words you don’t say,

Will build the strength you carry today.

You’ll love wrong before you love right,

And think lonely means losing the fight.

But solitude ain’t empty—it’s where you learn

Your worth ain’t something others confirm.

⸻

BRIDGE

Don’t rush the answers—

life ain’t planned, it unfolds.

What feels like breaking

is how the light gets in the soul.

And all those shadows you’re scared to face

Are only there ’cause something bright

is shining from your place.

⸻

FINAL HOOK + OUTRO

Dear me—

you’re gonna stumble, you’re gonna break,

You’ll think it’s over more times than you can say.

But every dark road, every hard turn

Teaches the strength you had to learn.

So when you’re tired, when dreams feel done—

Remember this letter, remember you won.

Dear me—you survived

what once felt impossible to overcome…

Sincerely—

the one you become.
