Dear girl, I never thought I'd fashion a letter
To close the chapter of our lives no longer acting together
Stubborn and passionate anger replaces tougher than leather
Love that and rough as the weather endured above earthly treasures
Neither one of us mature, neither one of us humble
We took a beautiful garden and turned it into a jungle
No wonder we stumbled, the way ahead is not clear
And though I thought that we could make it, the relation stops here
So we part ways at this fork in the road
I chose the path that leads to silence while your story gets told
So I'm known as the ogre, god, it's so boring and old
But I swore that unforgiveness is not something to hold
So I let it all go, just so you know
I sincerely hope that all your dreams will unfold
And I sincerely care about your good and your bad
And I'm so sorry that you really never got to know your dad
Thanks for being there for me when my daddy passed away
And I forgive you for every time that you said I was gay
I listen to The Fray and ponder on the source of my strife
They sing songs of my plight, had I known how to save a life
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
Dear dad, I never thought I'd write you a letter
To close a chapter of my life that had us laughing together
Highly opinionated man that kept the family together
A man whose passion was paralleled by his endurance to weather
Storms, becoming better, ignored becoming bitter
And I'll never know the reason that you cried in Antwone Fisher
Man, I miss your smile and your shine, they say your smile is now mine
I pray that I continue to develop in your design
What's yours is mine, the phrase you used to whisper
As days go by, the truth of this vision becomes crisper
Used to be the boy that stood up riding in your green truck
Then as a teen giving you stress, it was my mess you'd clean up
Now as a man, I'm strong because you built my self-esteem up
You always knew success would come when me and Uno teamed up
To make the green bucks, but more than that, to make a difference
You're now in heaven, I'm feeling the results of all your wishes, bye
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
Yo, dear fam, I know that this is gonna be hard
So I write you this letter with all my deepest regards
You've been the best mom and dad that anyone could ever ask
Tell my brother that I love him, though we fought in the past
So here I am, all alone, trying to figure this out
And late at night when I sleep, I awaken and shout
It's like I'm living out the deepest, darkest dreams I ever had
Never could I have imagined I'd be doing so bad
And if indeed this could be the final things I ever say
I'ma pray for forgiveness right before I pass away
They say that parents should never have to go bury their kids
So just remember how I lived and all the good things I did
And mama, try and understand, I was chasing my dreams
Though I never finished college like you always had seen
I only hope I made you proud every time I rocked the stage
Even though it only equaled to some pennies and change
I never sold myself short for the money and fame
I tried to make the best music while remaining the same
Now my dreams are unfulfilled 'cause destiny had other plans
If I die before I wake, I'll leave my life in God's hands
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
The final things that I said to you
The final love that I sent you
