Lyrics

[Intro]

Got ink on my fingers

Got blood on my past

If you’re reading this letter

Then I’m gone at last

[Verse 1]

Dear God, it’s me, the lost cause

Wrote laws in the street, broke laws

Whole life chasing that quick applause

Dark palms, dirty money in my sock drawer

I lied, I stole, I swung first, asked later

Treated every good heart like a favor

Mom prayed over plates by the radiator

I skipped grace, hit the block, came back greater

Greater at hurting, greater at hiding

Greater at turning my guilt into silence

Every prayer that I heard, I’d fight it

Said your name as a joke in the violence

But tonight this pen feel heavy

Page look bright, my hands unsteady

If the sirens come quick and the lights go empty

Read this slow, ‘cause my sins come plenty

[Chorus]

So I’m writing you a note, God, before I go

All the things I never said that you probably know

If I drown in the dark that I called my home

Hold this page to your heart, don’t let me die alone

Yeah, I’m writing you a note, God, every crooked line

All the hurt that I sold, all the stolen time

If my breath run out ‘fore I touch that sky

At least you heard me once before I die

[Verse 2]

Dear God, I remember that Sunday school

Little me, one cookie, broke every rule

Pocketed four, told ‘em “I ain’t a fool”

Guess that’s when I chose which road I’d use

Fast forward, I’m grown with a cold grin

Toast up bad deals, call it “win-win”

Every promise I made, I’d fold it thin

Used love like a ladder then kicked it in

I hurt women that trusted my smile

Left kids with my eyes and my crooked style

If they talk to you later when they’re hurting inside

Tell ‘em daddy was a ghost that forgot to try

I ain’t asking you to paint me a saint

I ain’t asking you to say I ain’t what I ain’t

Just… measure me by more than my worst frame

If there’s a file on my soul, add this page to my name

[Chorus]

‘Cause I’m writing you a note, God, before I go

All the things I never said that you probably know

If I drown in the dark that I called my home

Hold this page to your heart, don’t let me die alone

Yeah, I’m writing you a note, God, every crooked line

All the hurt that I sold, all the stolen time

If my breath run out ‘fore I touch that sky

At least you heard me once before I die

[Bridge]

If there’s mercy for the ones that burn it all (burn it all)

If there’s light for the ones that learn too late (too late)

You can send me where the broken battles fall

But watch my people while I fade

Take my spots, trade ‘em for their peace

Use my name cheap, but let their pain ease

I sowed storms, let ‘em feel your breeze

If you hate my ways, still love my seeds (yeah)

[Chorus]

So I’m writing you a note, God, before I go

All the things I never said that you probably know

If I drown in the dark that I called my home

Hold this page to your heart, don’t let me die alone

Yeah, I’m writing you a note, God, every crooked line

All the hurt that I sold, all the stolen time

If my breath run out ‘fore I touch that sky

At least you heard me once

At least you heard me once before I die
