[Verse 1]
Dear Stephen
I hope you hear this one day
And recognize my voice
As the one that you let slip away
And Stephen
I hope that six months down the road
You think you made the right choice
Loving someone else before yourself
[Pre-Hook 1]
Now Stephen
I thought of you today and smiled
For the first time in a while
I remembered what it felt like when you kissed me
Stephen, I don't have that much more to say
[Hook]
So before my words get in my way
Let me clear my throat and tell you that
A part of me will always care for
Whoever you grow up to be
There's a part of you that I'm dying to hold on to
Cause I used to love you more than me
[Verse 2]
Dear Stephen
I hope that you had fun ripping out the page
That had me in it
And the pictures of us from our yesterday
Stephen, I had a dream that you never ran away
You were still mine and you were 'finna stay
[Pre-Hook 2]
Stephen, I thought of you today and smiled
Cause for the first time in a while
I remembered what your bottom lip tasted like
Stephen, I don't have that much more to say
[Hook]
[Post-Hook]
I'll be sending you love everyday
And I don't feel no type of way
Cause I used to love you more than me
[Breakdown]
Stephen
I keep a card you wrote me addressed to 'my love'
And I think that was half our battle
You were never in love with me
You were in love with who you wanted me to be
Stephen
I thank you so much for trying to fix me
But I never asked you for that
And I needed you to love me while I fixed myself
But instead, Stephen
You stomped us out like a lit cigarette on carpet babe
And I would've let the whole f**ing building burn down
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Dear Stephen
I hope you hear this one day think of me and smile
Cause for the first time in a whole
Stephen
You remembered what it felt like making love to me
I'm sorry that I couldn't be everything you needed
Stephen, there isn't that much more to say
[Hook] + [Post-Hook]
