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
