This Letter
Breaking Chains: A Letter of Redemption by Last Train To Juarez
Lyrics
Been tryin to write this letter
Expressing difficulty in composing a letter
Don't think I have the strength to carry on
Feeling emotionally drained and unsure if able to continue
I wake up every morning
Reflecting on the routine of waking up each day
Look at you thank the stars you're the one
Expressing gratitude for the person being addressed
Wasn't always this way
Contrasting current emotions with a previous love for life
I had a love for life it went away
Referring to a lost love for life
I wasn't always this way
Acknowledging a change in character or emotions
But I think I could find a way
Believing in the possibility of finding a solution
To make a change
Expressing the intention to make a positive change
So I'm leaving you this letter
Deciding to communicate through a letter
When you wake I'll be gone
Informing about leaving while the recipient is asleep
I hope that you'll stand by me
Hoping for support in overcoming personal struggles
As I get some help to break what I've become
Seeking assistance to break a negative pattern of behavior
Wasn't always this way
Reiterating the change in emotional state
I had a love for life it went away
Recalling a lost love for life
I wasn't always this way
Acknowledging the shift in personality or emotions
But I think I can find a way
Expressing confidence in finding a solution
To make a change
Reaffirming the intention to make a positive change
You've given so much to me
Recognizing the support received
Now it kills me to know what I've done
Regretting the negative impact on the relationship
I couldn't face my addiction
Confronting a personal addiction
Now I know I'm too far gone
Realizing the severity of the situation
It wasn't always this way
Reiterating the change in emotional state
I had a love for life it went away
Recalling a lost love for life
I wasn't always this way
Acknowledging the shift in personality or emotions
But I think I could find a way
Expressing confidence in finding a solution
To make a change
Reaffirming the intention to make a positive change
Can't blame that you don't trust me
Acknowledging a breach of trust
We both know we've been here before
Recognizing a repetitive pattern in the relationship
But I've hit a crossroad
Facing a critical decision point in life
If I don't go now I won't grow old
Stating the urgency of personal growth
Wasn't always this way
Reiterating the change in emotional state
I had a love for life it went away
Recalling a lost love for life
I wasn't always this way
Acknowledging the shift in personality or emotions
But I know I will find a way
Expressing confidence in finding a solution
To make a change
Reaffirming the intention to make a positive change
So I'm leaving you this letter
Deciding to communicate through a letter
When you wake I'll be gone
Informing about leaving while the recipient is asleep
