Dear Me

[Intro]
Dear me,
We need to talk, it’s been a minute, I can feel you slippin’ (yeah)
You’ve been hidin’ in the dark, actin’ like I’m the villain
But I’m you, so who am I really killin’?

[Verse 1]
Tell me why you never listen when I scream your name (why?)
Why you drown yourself in liquor just to numb the pain? (why?)
Why you actin’ like the past didn’t carve your brain
Into pieces that you hide but can’t contain?
Every night you wear that mask just to fake a smile (fake it)
Tellin’ everyone you’re fine while you break inside (breakin’)
You say you wanna heal but you run from the fight
Say you look for peace but you feed on the lies

[Hook]
Dear me, why we always at war?
Why the hell I feel empty even when I want more?
Why I build a dream just to burn it down slow?
Why the mirror feels like someone I don’t know?
Dear me, I’ve been tryna understand
But every time I reach, you pull away my hand
You the reason that I’m lost and I can’t stand
But without you I’m not even a man

[Verse 2]
You remember when we promised we would never fall?
Now we barely talk at all (yeah)
I see you scroll through pictures tryna fill that hole
But every smile you see just makes you feel small
You’re addicted to the noise and the fake applause
Chasin’ love in the dark just to mask your flaws
You keep prayin’ for a change but you never pause
You can’t heal a wound if you hide the cause

[Bridge]
I tried to save you but you pushed me away (away)
Told myself tomorrow’s gonna be okay (okay)
But the voices get louder every goddamn day (every day)
And I don’t even know which one’s me when they say—

[Hook – Reprise]
Dear me, why we always at war?
Why the hell I feel empty even when I want more?
Why I build a dream just to burn it down slow?
Why the mirror feels like someone I don’t know?
Dear me… (yeah)
Maybe one day we’ll heal, maybe one day we’ll grow
But till then, I’ll fight you till one of us lets go

[Outro]
So if you hear me now, don’t hide again
We ain’t enemies — we just both in pain
I’ll forgive you if you do the same
Dear me… let’s start again.
