Lyrics

Imma just be honest, I've been struggling

Expressing honesty about personal struggles.

And this ain't gone be something I wanna play for the public

Not willing to share personal issues publicly.

While I've been trynna heal but this heart is not recovering

Struggling to heal, indicating emotional pain.

My skin getting thicker but my blood still bubbling

Physical resilience is increasing, but emotional turmoil persists.

What a troubling group

Reflecting on a troubling situation or emotions.

I don't wanna get in trouble unless the trouble is you

Avoiding trouble unless it involves the person being addressed.

But you're recovering too

Acknowledging the addressee's recovery.

So now club is at two

Referencing a club scene at 2 AM.

Until you asking me who? What? When? Where? And why I be doing this

Responding to inquiries about actions and motives.

I never have a reason but I mean it when I tell you that I never wanna ruin this

Expressing a sincere desire not to ruin the relationship.

Told myself I wouldn't but you see I'm going through with it

Despite initial intentions, deciding to go through with something.

Swear to you I'm done with the clowning and the foolishness

Committing to ending foolish behavior.

I know that these are words and they're less than you deserve

Acknowledging the inadequacy of words compared to the person's worth.

But we know you'll prolly curve and say "You got the nerve"

Anticipating rejection due to perceived nerve.

Yes I do

Affirming the truth of the statements made.

This is true

Reiterating sincerity and commitment.

Cause I don't want this thing it if it isn't me and you

Desiring a genuine relationship with the person.

Cause I know that I've been doing some things that shouldn't be done

Recognizing past mistakes that should not be repeated.

Tears from the eyes will hit air and dry but I'd rather none

Preferring emotional pain over causing tears.

Cause I will never ever go and do that shit again

Vowing not to repeat past mistakes.

And I would rather Rest In Peace than ever be your friend

Expressing a strong preference for peace over friendship.

So let me be the proof and go ahead and make a-

Encouraging reconciliation and making amends.

Go ahead and make amends

Acknowledging mistakes and expressing regret.

I fucked up

Admitting to making a significant error.

Still I hope and pray to God that this shit isn't tough luck

Hoping for a positive outcome despite the mistake.

Putting on a coat when my shirt won't do enough but

Using metaphorical language to describe putting on a brave front.

Thinking in that manor only left me with a hurt gut

Reflecting on negative consequences of past actions.

Rough cuts

Describing the emotional impact of mistakes.

Trynna take a shortcut

Attempting a shortcut with negative consequences.

Only gonna screw me over later in the long run

Acknowledging the potential for negative repercussions.

I don't even know what I was thinking, I was on one

Reflecting on impulsive actions and their consequences.

Letting this one slip, I know for sure I'd be the wrong one

Anticipating regret for letting an opportunity slip away.

I wonder if you'll ever hear this, girl I surely hope

Expressing a hope that the person will listen to the message.

That you know what I mean and what I mean is what I wrote

Emphasizing the sincerity and truthfulness of the message.

I hit your line, you press decline, I'm hanging from a rope

Describing a desperate attempt to communicate and seek forgiveness.

Please let me up, just say what's up, I'll give you what I owe

Requesting a chance to make amends and fulfill obligations.

And if you still not with it, let a friend not be a foe

Expressing a preference for friendship over hostility.

You're really all that matters

Acknowledging the importance of the person addressed.

And I'm sorry for this matter but shit won't be a pattern if you let me just be better for you

Apologizing and expressing a commitment to positive change.

Cause I know that I've been doing some things that shouldn't be done

Reiterating recognition of past mistakes and a desire for improvement.

Tears from the eyes will hit air and dry but I'd rather none

Preferring emotional resilience over causing pain.

This is a letter to you

Confirming that the message is a letter to the person.

This is a letter t-

Repeating the confirmation of the letter's purpose.

This is a letter to you

Concluding the letter, indicating its intended recipient.
