Lyric

The Hidden Letter (B-Sides)

Back Tired

Nearly fifty years on this earth... time flies so damn fast

None of us know when our time is gonna come

A sickness, an accident... tomorrow isn't promised to anyone

So before it's too late, I'm leaving this letter right here, hidden in the sound

To my wife, my warmth, my everything... let me talk to you tonight

I was broken, battered, covered in bruises and scars

Standing in the freezing cold, staring at distant stars

When the whole world turned away, you picked me up from the dirt

Wrapped me in your gentle arms and healed every single hurt

I know I'm selfish, I know I'm a handful to bear

I know you held back your tears, pretending not to care

Through the money struggles, the hard times, the heavy weight

You stayed by my side, smiling through our rocky fate

Your smile is the brightest light this world has ever seen

Saved my miserable life, made me feel like a king

Now our boy is growing up, looking more like you every day

Got your beautiful eyes, got your warm and gentle way

I look at the two of you, sitting in our little home

And I realize I ain't ever gonna be alone

I love you

I love you more than words could ever say under the sky

Thank you for bringing our sweet boy into this life

Thank you for loving me with the greatest smile you hold

A treasure in my heart that's worth more than gold

The clock is ticking down, the reaper’s getting near

When my time comes to go, I want you to hear

I was the happiest man 'cause I had you by my side

With you and our son, I lived a beautiful ride

We don't know when the hour comes, could be early, could be late

So I'm leaving this confession right here before the gate

Too embarrassed to say it out loud to your face

So I'm hiding my true heart in this quiet little space

Every single moment left, I'm gonna give you my all

Gonna protect your happiness, stand strong and tall

Thank you for finding me, thank you for being my wife

Meeting you was the greatest miracle of my life

Now our boy is growing up, looking more like you every day

Got your beautiful eyes, got your warm and gentle way

I look at the two of you, sitting in our little home

And I realize I ain’t ever gonna be alone

I love you... truly love you

Until my very last breath... I'm gonna make you smile

I love you

I love you more than words could ever say under the sky

Thank you for bringing our sweet boy into this life

Thank you for loving me with the greatest smile you hold

A treasure in my heart that's worth more than gold

The clock is ticking down, the reaper’s getting near

When my time comes to go, I want you to hear

I was the happiest man 'cause I had you by my side

With you and our son, I lived a beautiful ride

I love you so much

Thank you for meeting me

I'm so happy I got to be your husband, and his dad

Peace to my family
