[Verse 1]
Dear Mark, you're the one with the words, but my side should be heard
Think that it's fuckin' absurd, you talk about me when you rap about her
All of your songs, hear about all of my wrongs, like you never played me like pong
Like you never went out and did nothin' wrong, it's crazy forever turned into so long
And now that you're gone, I had to move on, and I'm happy with him
But I still can't pretend that I didn't go fuck with your friend every now and again
I be thinkin' of then, I be thinkin' that that was somethin' I would never intend
And especially, when it was me who you trusted to take on your feelings and try to remend, it's so hard pretend
I would lie in your bed, givin' you head
Listen to all of the things that you said
Listen to all of the lyrics you read
You were chasin' a dream, I would party instead
Young and in love, young and we're dumb
I can taste all of the pain in your tongue
I can taste all of my pain in the rum
Knew it was over before it begun
Lookin' for fun, burnin' my lungs
Learnin' my favorite feelin' was numb
Bought every dinner, you barely bought one
Maybe I cheat, and then we could be done
That would be done, we were so broke
You were the one that turned into a joke
I kept us afloat
You were the one that kept us on the rope, damn
Now you are the man, huh?
See, you turned into somebody I can't stand, huh?
And knowin' you, it is all part of your plan, huh?
You crazy fuck, I had the chance, I shoulda ran, huh
Never would tell me you cared, never were there
Remember that night that we went to the fair?
Every fine girl that walked by, you would stare
See, even when there, Mark, you never were there
If all I care 'bout is my makeup and hair
All you care 'bout is the ego you wear
You tear me apart, continue to tear
Now I'm with someone who actually cares, fuck you!
But I can't keep you off my mind
I'm seein' everything you drop, sometimes I wish that I was blind
You make me relive my mistake a million, trillion fucking times
See, you're a coward, and a stupid rap persona is what you hide behind
And my whole family still adores you
I tried a million times, I would've only did that for you
I can't act like I don't know you, every night, I would explode
You made me feel I was below you, Mark, I wish I could ignore you, but I (Near to you)
Can't, damn (I am healin', but it's takin' so long)
('Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful)
(It's hard to move on)
[Verse 2]
What do—
How then could you tell me you'd love me again and again?
You were only a friend, it was hard to pretend
I wrote so many letters, but never hit send
I was never content, I was set on me being a rapper
I thought about music and thought of you after
It's funny how tears turn to laughter
And tears on the page, they can turn into a masterpiece
That's how you told me to leave
I remember that night, it's as clear as can be
And you found a new man, and he loves that you drink
And he loves gettin' head, but don't care what you think
You look pretty in pink, you look naughty in red
We know these are the words that would never be said
And we're chasin' a topic that's over your head
'Cause you think about me every night as you lie in your bed
That's real
[Chorus]
Near to you
I am healin', but it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Near to you
I am healin', but it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
[Verse 3]
Well, I guess we all change, Mark, hm, guess we all change
I hope that you get everything that you want as you yell and you stand on the stage
You took all your pain and turned it to fame
They're screamin' your name and goin' insane
I kept all our pics but threw out the frame
Before I knew Witt, I knew Mark, now they're one and the same
But what about me, motherfucker?
Forgot about me, motherfucker?
Except when you talk about me, motherfucker
I'm tired of hearin' 'bout me, motherfucker
Your mouth was a blessin' and now it's a weapon
Remember the time and that love we invested
I'm postin' a pic and I'm gettin' attention
My tits and my ass get a favorite a second
See, you were with me but were thinkin' of her
Now I'm with him, and I'm thinkin' of you
Together to never, whatever we were
We're stuck in a cycle, the cycle is cruel
A couple of fools stuck in a pool of people that wanna be cool
See, we're never happy, we're happy, so we keep on searchin' for love as if love was a jewel
Remember that night that you came to my school?
Stayed up all night and we talked about life
My parents and I, we would constantly fight
You said when you make it, I might be a stay-at-home wife
Apparently, that wasn't right
Relivin' a moment that lasted a night
And, honestly, Mark, gotta start to move on with your life
Sincerely, a letter we never would write
[Verse 4]
Like, what are we doin'?
Like, what am I doin'?
Writin' these letters, but what am I provin'?
I'm stuck in my room and I'm spillin' it all
Makin' up what you would say if you call
I might be the biggest mistake of 'em all
My biggest mistake was to think that I never could fall
Like fallin' for you, fallin' in love
Follow my dream, and that's all of my love
I just want to feel, I've been feelin' so numb
To think that I know how you're feelin' is dumb
We're done, right from the start
I write from the heart, a light in the dark
They see that you're open and tear you apart
Now this is our letter, we sign it sincerely, Mark
[Outro]
Now this is our letter, we sign it sincerely, Mark
