[Verse 1] You listened way back to when I was just a kid Writing about a boy and my mom and my friends Writing about things that I couldn't comprehend Writing about things that made me want to end My life without anyone being affected My music cause I thought that nobody would listen My hope cause I didn't like where I saw me headed All the pain and the trauma got the doubts deep embedded. [Chorus] You didn't tell me that I'm fine. Didn't tell me what I need. Didn't tell me that my knees Are how to get back on my feet. You didn't feed me the lines. You just listened to my words. You told me that I reached someone When I felt i had no worth. You didn't just hear me You listened every time. Said the answer could be To just make it a rhyme. [Verse 2] I listen to the songs where you talk about problems And don't try to preach to me or change me or solve them. You let me be myself in a world that just left Cause somehow you understand that maybe thats best. [Chorus] You didn't tell me that I'm fine. Didn't tell me what I need. Didn't tell me that my knees Are how to get back on my feet. You didn't feed me the lines. You just listened to my words. You told me that I reached someone When I felt i had no worth. You didn't just hear me You listened every time. Said the answer could be To just make it a rhyme. [Verse 3] You showed me I don't have to be ashamed of my skin And that where I'm going now is nothing like where I've been. Cause back in Room with a Gun I said there's a name that I'm missing. And there's a face and a smile that my mind has invented. So congratulations You are that person. [Chorus] You didn't tell me that I'm fine. Didn't tell me what I need. Didn't tell me that my knees Are how to get back on my feet. You didn't feed me the lines. You just listened to my words. You told me that I reached someone When I felt i had no worth. You didn't just hear me You listened every time. Said the answer could be To just make it a rhyme. [Ending] So thank you. Thank you for everything. Everything you've done for me And everything you're doing. It means the world. Maybe even more.
