Letter To Myself by Widmore Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Ruel James]
Am I another one of your lost causes?
I’ve waited far too long to know
If we all
Even have a chance
To make you change
To make you stay
I’m not the way
You make me out to be
And I won't
Let you change the way i see myself no
While I wait for
For you to sacrifice yourself
Cause I don't need your goddamn help
After all you left me broken
[Pre-Chorus: Jeremy Richardson]
An undertow of nothing more than all the scum you know
Waiting for you to drown
To make purpose of your bones
[Chorus: Ruel James]
I’ll wait for the rain
To come and wash away
All the fear that I have inside
I will pray
I won’t fade away
I will come together in time
Together in time
[Verse 2: Jeremy Richardson]
Runnin back and forth it is
A part of my internal war
With giving in
(this fear within)
And giving everything up just to win
I hope this storm
Washes fear from my skin (my skin)
To reveal a better man
[Chorus: Ruel James]
I’ll wait for the rain
To come and wash away
All the fear that I have inside
I will pray
I won’t fade away
I will come together in time
Together in time
[Bridge: Ruel James & Jeremy Richardson]
[Ruel James]
Every spring
A piece of myself falls away
It’s fitting I guess
Since it was about this time last year I started waking up without you
And even though every day gets easier
I can feel you trying to claw your way back in
But I am more
And I have grown to know myself
But I have also grown to know you
It still kills me to know that you never changed
It wasn’t that I needed you
It’s just that fact that even if I wanted to
I wouldn't know where to start looking
For the thoughts I never kept
And for the memories I left
It’s been so long
That I’ve been searching for a way home
And if I ever find my way
Will you tell me why you were here in the first place
[Jeremy Richardson]
I’ll be better off if I run
From all the fear
That chased me here
And left me undone
Swallowed up by the sun
Cowering in fear
Over what I may become
And you’ll see
It’s more than what I’m made of
That makes me feel awake
And if I had
One wish
I’d wish myself
Out of the fucking picture
And let you live
In peace once again
Swallowed up by the sun
Swallowed by the sun
[Chorus: All]
I’ll wait for the rain
To come and wash away
All the fear that I have inside
I will pray
I won’t fade away
I will come together in time
Together in time
[Verse 1: Ruel James]
Am I another one of your lost causes?
I’ve waited far too long to know

For you to sacrifice yourself
Cause I don't need your goddamn help
