The Last Letter (Te Reta Whakamutunga)

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
