He wrote the letter

Saying goodbye

Saying he’s sorry for all that he did

Apologizing for the secrets he hid

Regretting all the past’s mistakes

Coming from a life of fakes

He wrote the letter

Telling the truth

Saying he loved them

When they hated him

But that it’s now over

There’s no more shame

No going back

There’s no one to blame

He wrote the letter

He poured his mind

He painted his thoughts

And truths that he found

He wrote the letter

And signed in red

He wrote the letter

And now he’s dead
