Note To Self Songtext
You started life as double lines nobody planned for
Wiped all your mother's tears, growing up too fast
And all alone, you played a role that you never asked for
Feeling everybody's fears, but what choice did you have?
Your parents were fighting, your younger brothers were crying
And you were a soldier in hiding in your bedroom
Trying to keep it locked up inside, and you just ignored all the sirens
If I could go back in time and try to write it all out
Wiped all your mother's tears, growing up too fast
And all alone, you played a role that you never asked for
Feeling everybody's fears, but what choice did you have?
Your parents were fighting, your younger brothers were crying
And you were a soldier in hiding in your bedroom
Trying to keep it locked up inside, and you just ignored all the sirens
If I could go back in time and try to write it all out
Note to self
I know you had to get us through some hell
You couldn't put a name to what you felt
'Cause you never hurt like that before
But you ain't alone anymore, no
I got you now
(I got you now)
Losing love and all your friends and a little bit of innocence
No one asked you anything, just made you feel guilty
So you try to keep between the lines, from the backseat of your life
Couldn't control anything but the size of your jeans
Even the praying and preaching, they couldn't fight off the demons
And you were silently screaming, "Somebody listen to me"
You didn't know what you needed, you wouldn't show any weakness
If there was a way you could read it, girl, I'd tell you now
Note to self I know you had to get us through some hell
You couldn't put a name to what you felt
'Cause you never hurt like that before
But you ain't alone anymore, no
And all of the screams that just stayed in your head
All of the questions that scared you to death
It was a prison and you got us out
But you can let go, girl, you can break down 'cause
I got you now
Yeah, I got you now
Oh (I got you now)
(Praying and preaching, they couldn't fight off the demons)
(Somebody listen to me)
(I got you now)
Note to self
Just know that it's okay to ask for help
You don't gotta be afraid 'cause
I can tell you, life and people let you down
But where I'm standing here and now
It all works out
I know you had to get us through some hell
You couldn't put a name to what you felt
'Cause you never hurt like that before
But you ain't alone anymore, no
I got you now
(I got you now)
Losing love and all your friends and a little bit of innocence
No one asked you anything, just made you feel guilty
So you try to keep between the lines, from the backseat of your life
Couldn't control anything but the size of your jeans
Even the praying and preaching, they couldn't fight off the demons
And you were silently screaming, "Somebody listen to me"
You didn't know what you needed, you wouldn't show any weakness
If there was a way you could read it, girl, I'd tell you now
