A Letter to Everyone Who’s Hurt Me Chandler Leighton

[Verse 1]
I thought it was normal to watch your parents fight
It taught me dysfunction was just part of life
That love's just a word that we use to excuse our mistakes
Now I can't tell if I'm afraid or just jaded
I guess I'm just scared to end up the way they did
How do I unlearn the ways I deal with pain when that was all they taught me?

[Pre-Chorus]
To everyone I've loved who's let me down
Let this letter hold what I can't say out loud

[Chorus]
What do I owe you for who I became?
Should I say "thank you" or curse your name?
Do I give you credit or all of the blame?
'Cause growth and pain always feel thе same
Feel the same, feel thе same

[Verse 2]
I try to avoid it when I meet somebody new
I fall for the same shit that I did with you
'Cause there's comfort in chaos and that's why I kept you around
It's insane to me that this could be the medicine and the disease
A cigarette that's killin' me, yet I still wanna breathe in
I keep tryin' to wash off the smell, but it's stuck on my skin
