Lyrics

So I'm writing this letter to you, baby.

Expressing the act of writing a letter to the baby.

Just like my mother told me.

Referencing advice from the speaker's mother about positivity.

She always said say yes before you say no and say maybe.

Encouraging a positive approach, saying yes and maybe before no.


See I never sugar coat any life lessons for you,

Avoiding sugar-coating life lessons to prepare the baby for reality.

'cause I wanna make you equipped for the best.

Expressing the desire to equip the baby for the best in life.

And I can't always be here to rescue you when life gets crazy.

Acknowledging the inability to always rescue the baby from life's challenges.


But I love you more than you'll ever know.

Declaring deep love for the baby.

With you love never dies.

Emphasizing the eternal nature of love with repetition.

With you love never dies.

-

'Cause I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

No I can't promise to have all the answers to all of your questions.

Admitting the speaker's inability to have all answers but promising honesty.

But I'll never lie and I'll raise you without; not an obsession.

Commitment to raise the baby without unhealthy obsessions.


See I never sugar coat any life lessons for you,

Reiterating the avoidance of sugar-coating life lessons.

'cause I wanna make you equipped for the best.

Reaffirming the intention to prepare the baby for the best in life.

And I can't always be here to rescue you when life gets crazy.

Recognizing the inability to always rescue the baby from life's challenges.


But I love you more than you'll ever know.

Reiterating the profound love for the baby.

With you love never dies.

Continued emphasis on the enduring nature of love.

With you love never dies.

-

'Cause I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

I love you more than you'll ever know.

-

You can do it if you try.

Encouraging the baby to believe in their abilities through repetition.

You can do it if you try.

-

You can do it if you try, try.

-

You can do it if you try.

-

You can do it if you try.

-

You can do it if you try.

-

You can do it if you try, try.

-

You can do it if you try.

Reinforcing the message of believing in oneself through effort.
