I'll keep it light like half and half

Tell you the sad part then make you laugh

'Cause if it's funny. it can't be bad

Yeah, it's genetic, so thanks for that

You're gone all of a sudden

And I try to pretend

That it's just for a moment

And I'll see you again

'Cause I owed you a song

And I'm sorry it's a bummer

And it took me so long

'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy

I've been tired of loving and losing

Can't have one without the other

I don't wanna hear

It'll hurt less later

You're less like a void

And more like a crater

You're not like a scratch

You're more like a scar

I don't know where you went

But I know you're not far

You're gone all of a sudden

And I try to pretend

That it's just for a moment

And I'll see you again

'Cause I owed you a song

And I'm sorry it's a bummer

And it took me so long

'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy

I've been tired of loving and losing

Can't have one without the other

I don't believe

But I've been praying

That ghosts are real

And your presence

Is something I'll feel

Something I'll feel again

'Cause I owed you a song

And I'm sorry it's a bummer

And it took me so long

'Cause I'll be honest, it's been a doozy

I've been tired of loving and losing

Can't have one without the other

Hey gorgeous, this is your father

Um, I want you to know first and foremost your mother and I

Hell, the entire family

We're so proud of what you're doing with

your life and the chances you're taking

I cannot tell you that you know what you're doing

but you continue going there

There's going to be hurdles

there's going to be victories

but both of you guys make us very, very proud

We love you so much, and uh–keep on writing, my love

Buh-bye
