Lyrics The Last Letter (Te Reta Whakamutunga) - Keala Settle

How do you start a letter
To someone
Who is not here anymore?
I guess
You just
Open your heart and begin
Remember the time that you chased me
I had just turned fourteen
You were just trying to raise me
But I didn't want any part of that story
Cause those were your shoes, not my shoes
The ones that I had to fill for you
And living your dreams made me angry
For so long
I, I blamed you
Shutdown my senses
Took me your lifetime
To tell you I was wrong
Now that I'm older
I see so clearly
That girl inside me
You knew all along
Now I can see through your eyes
You left your wings so that I could fly

Like living your family behind for a chance and
You would have paid any price cause
You were the one that did everything for us
Now your shoes are my shoes
My to walk but the issue is
You can't fill the shoes of a goddess
No

I, I blamed you
Shutdown my senses
Took me your lifetime
To tell you I was wrong
Now that I'm older
I see so clearly
That girl inside me
You knew all along
Now I can see through your eyes
You left your wings so that I could fly
I, I blamed you
Shutdown my senses
Took me your lifetime
To tell you I was wrong
Now that I'm older
I see so clearly
That girl inside me
You knew all along
Now I can see through your eyes
