Intro Do you ever wish, you could write a letter to your younger self? And you'd receive it at a time when you really needed it? Let yourself know what mistakes to avoid, what you're doing right, or that everything's gonna be ok. If I could, it'd probably be something like this... Verse 1 I know you're having a tough time I've been there You've had enough of it plus life ain't been fair You suffer silently but find within there's a sadness and pain Anger and hate Self-doubt's captured your brain I see it It's kinda difficult fitting in When your thinking isn't twinned with your peers so they're belittling 'Cos you're different And you're wishing that weren't the case Learnt to fake to be accepted Now turn and face You'll be alone for a long time Those close will do you wrong Find it hard to feel like you belong I know you're a strong guy But please stop caring what they think They'll only hold you down beneath the water till you sink Chorus Let it rain let it rain let it pour I used to cry tears when they made me feel small Now I dip my pen in the pain and I paint let it all out I learnt to swim while they all drown So let it rain let it rain let it fall I used to get bruised when my back hit the wall I wish I could've told me The old me to know though the storm's loud We learnt to swim while they all drowned Verse 2 It still hurts when I think what you're going through Never knowing who's best to be turning to So alone but still you're learning through Trials and error Mostly error Hold together Don't you let up It goes better I wrote this letter just to tell ya it's not as bad as you currently feel But when you hate yourself more than they dislike you it gets real Without the confidence in self it becomes harder to deal And no direction for your life it's like you're drunk at the wheel They'll try to break your mind and spirit every time you will heal 'Til your will and determination becomes harder than steel This ordeal is temporary you can leave it behind ya You'll find the peace that you desire when you travel to China Things ain't perfect yet But in retrospect You're closer to the happiness than you thought you could ever get And damn right Without all that you swam through I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be me So I thank you Chorus Let it rain let it rain let it pour I used to cry tears when they made me feel small Now I dip my pen in the pain and I paint let it all out I learnt to swim while they all drown So let it rain let it rain let it fall I used to get bruised when my back hit the wall I wish I could've told me The old me to know though the storm's loud We learnt to swim while they all drowned Verse 3 P.S you're gonna travel the world Inspire many people both guys and the girls Life will always find a move to screw you I cannot say that it all improves But you do Oh and invest in YouTube Learn a foreign language if you can Normal ain't the plan I wrote this to you in Japan On your feet and make a stand To be great you need the pain All the hurt will wash away Like it's dirt so let it rain Chrous Let it rain let it rain let it pour I never show them fear if they make me feel small Still I dip my pen in the pain and I paint let it all out I learnt to swim while they all drown So let it rain let it rain let it fall I knock the ting down when my back hits the wall I wish I could've told me The old me to know though the storm's loud We learnt to swim while they all drowned Outro P.P.S. Don't drink milk. That's a whole next type of pain
