Letter To Me - Lyrics

song - letter to me
artist - Brad Paisley
I OWN NOTHING
I love this song

[@decuevas244]

This song applies to almost all ages! Its the point of the song that needs to be held on to. My son passed on to Life on the 17th of August. He was 31. This was the last song i sent to him, 3 days before he passed. Though he was a believer and loved Christ, he struggled with drugs. Though one might be saved, it doesn't excuse you from the struggles of the world. It just means you will be with God in heaven forever. So no matter what you might be struggling with, life never stays the same! Thats a guarentee! 66carpenter

[@pablorobinson834]

I’m 23

[@etps4444]

I turned seventeen a couple of months ago. :)

[@luciencollins9935]

I’m 16 and in the same boat

[@Vacland]

I’m 22

[@graceeaston5122]

i’m 14..

[@rubyeanis6852]

I'm 17 and I listen to this song every time I feel like life feels like its not going according to plan

[@cookingwiththecripple]

Rubye Anis God has a plan for you my friend

[@shoeswithoutsouls4811]

How life goes 3 years later, my friend?

[@shoeswithoutsouls4811]

How life goes 3 years later, my friend?

[@euanf.4133]

I hope life is treating you right today.

[@valricot.v.3007]

How is 20/21 treating young buck?

[@korigarbison2259]

This song give me faith that things will get better !! I am 22 and I still trying find my purpose in life !!

[@dakotaswallows9461]

Try 26 buddy, you got time. ✌🏻💪🏻

[@Madridatheart3760]

Every lucky of the world my buddy. God is with you

[@FoulWeatherFriend385]

Don’t be surprised if you find it multiple times over the years. Lol

[@sarahelizabeth5284]

when i was seventeen, i actually broke up with my first love after seven months. this song made me feel soo much better!!! still gives me chills every time i hear it.

[@mysteriouscause8362]

I’m 17 and had a close friend end up using me for money and shit, it wasn’t a relationship but it felt like a break up when she found out I lost my job and ghosted me, this song really made me feel that shit and now I’m moved on

[@jamesd7495]

No song has ever touched me as much as this.. country music ain’t just about trucks and beer.. we go through the same things everyone else goes through.. just with a different accent..

[@katiemakowski1061]

have been listening to this song everyday so far. I tear up every time i hear it

[@joeytracy6687]

I like this song

[@brandonford4613]

Katie Makowski

[@larrymugrage2464]

I also agree with u on that Katie. Where the times gone. I miss those days. 😢😢😢

[@WeGotTurboGaming]

Love this song, even 5 years later.

[@corkscrewfork]

If I could write a letter to me, I'd tell my younger self "She ain't worth it, don't spend your money on her. Take those welding classes, but don't sweat it about college. You'll have something more important happen right after high school. Be yourself, love everyone with all your heart, but above all, make sure you tell them you love them every time you see them. Be ready to make the best friends of your lifetime, even if they live a good drive away. Kiss the fish when Brian tells you, even if it's not a keeper. And when you feel he needs you, it's okay to break your promise to mom. Don't be afraid of breaking down before you stand tall; dark days are ahead, but you'll make it."

[@mysticfire4772]

Wow. That made me tear up. I see you wrote this 4 years ago but I hope your life has gotten even better. That's very true. What you said, "Don't be afraid of breaking down before you stand tall; dark days are ahead, but you'll make it." I wish i have lived a life good enough to be able to write a letter to myself but i can't. Have a good day

[@comptonislife9046]

Oh shit. Nice letter

[@tlovestea423]

Man.. that last line, 💝

[@bulimohanington974]

soo deep man😩

[@amberdoesitmatter6019]

I love this song so much. I remember the heart breaks that never seemed to end and not feeling like there was a end in sight back then. Now I look back and just laugh I felt that way about such loosers. Thanks so much for all the music that truly touches us all and gets us through.

[@grizzlymaniac9785]

Yeah I'm a junior right now and I'm goin through a heart break right now it sucks but I'll get through it

[@amberdoesitmatter6019]

Chris Dubz stay strong the pain does end theres a reason in life for everything even if it doesnt seem that way.

[@brienen.analytics]

This song has helped me through a lot.

[@WeGotTurboGaming]

Me too

[@Pattern51lover]

I’m not really a country boy, but I love this song and it is still relatable. It’s still here at 1:30 when I’m 24 and it hurts. Life is hard, but you learn.

[@gavinhamilton4911]

me and my gf of 13 months just broke up out of nowhere . she met some other guy and decided he made her happier and im still fighting for her and this song randomly came on and made me feel a bit better i hope i feel better soon

[@dillanversai6717]

Hang in there bro..this song speaks truth..u will be good before u know it!

[@rodneyhill2393]

Look here man.I am 58 years old and I have learn a thing or two in my years here on earth. You will meet someone who going to make you this a blessing in disguise just waiting to see man just hang in there

[@gregorychristine6361]

It gets better. Just hold your head up and keep going forward

[@ashel5261]

Hope things worked out for you, and that you moved on

[@charityhensley6582]

I just turned 17 and this is so relatable

[@christopherevasin4142]

it’l be even better when youre older

[@ginamarie7244]

I used to listen to this song at 17 and tell myself it would be true and that things would get better. I’m 28 now and looking back it’s soo true

[@jamesd7495]

man this song hits sooo hard.. describes my life perfectly at 17 ten years ago.. Dated the same girl all through high school and broke up at 17, her name was briana, close to bridgette lol.. I started dipping skoal wintergreen at 16, biggest regret of my life, I almost failed algebra, only math class I ever had problems with, and the first day I had my license, I got into a wreck because I ran a stop sign at the corner of dewey circle and state street, which even rhymes with the streets he named lol.. it doesn't get much closer to this song than that ha 😓😊

[@grizzlymaniac9785]

This song explains my life so much right now

[@sylvesterosafo7840]

This is country song!!! i love every line in this song. remind me so much when i passed my college interview

[@toastedjawa3620]

I'm 18 now but this is still much needed.. my girlfriend for almost a year and I are going through some really tough times and I'm not sure her and I are gonna get through it... all my best memories for as long as I can remember, even before her and I got together, have involved her so this really sucks

[@arandomguy1372]

Im 13 and listening to this song gives me hope for my future being. I know life won't always go according to plan, but there's always a reason behind what happens. This song has been stuck in my head for a few days now and I try not to tear up when I hear it. When Brad says "You'll make it through this; you'll see. You're still around to write this letter to me." I feel theres more of a message there than some are really getting. That part is what gets me along with a few other parts. Being the age I am, tempted to make the stupid mistakes, I have always maintained an amazing reputation and not made many bad decisions. I have much to come in my future and hope it goes great. Looking in the mirror now, I ask myself where I will be in just the next few years. Whats gonna happen between now and 16? Am I gonna be able to "write the letter to me?" Am I gonna live through and really be the person I can be. This song has such an amazing meaning to me. Not only what Brad puts behind the song, but even the personal meaning takes so much consideration into thought. I'm beyond thankful for this song. Somehow, someway, this a stress reliever telling me that sometimes in life are better than others, and I have better things coming.

[@jacobleewalker]

7 years ago I lost the love of my life, I was 18 and we had a rough break up, today I’m married to that same girl, we own a house together, god has a plan for us all, just be patient

[@markt4518]

I'm 18 now & life is confusing right now but this song fills me with hope

[@christinav8527]

Me too 😍

[@ladybetrayus69]

I'm 34 I wish I could give my 17 year old self some advice spend as much time with mom your going to loose her at 22 so enjoy every hug and kiss don't get annoyed when she wants to do. don't worry about the future your going to fulfill your dream of moving to Florida. Your going to have amazing adventure and great friends.

[@brianaashley8636]

I love this song so much. It makes me so happy but also really emotional for some reason😭💕

[@kdawson8981]

My son just turned 17 one week ago. I just sent this to him. Dec 2019

[@HappyhappyJoyjoy886]

[@HappyhappyJoyjoy886]

Up chu

[@antski5162]

man I'm 22 this song gets me through some hard times

[@etps4444]

My aunt played this song for me recently because she said it reminds her of me and said it fits (I am currently seventeen). The line "it's hard to see past Friday night" is really relatable because everything feels so big and overwhelming, and there are so many times I've come close to just giving up. I worry so much about my future, thinking I'm just going to end up a failure. I really hope I can make it long enough to write a letter to myself one day. :')

[@jaredporter9755]

best song ever im graduating highschool in 2 months and this song makes me think of all my friends I've made from kindergarten to senior year i'll miss them

[@redravenrages6321]

Watching this on my 17th birthday, really reminds me how little my scope of the world is so far, and how many great days there are to come, so long as you choose to have them.

[@charicky584]

one of my fav song from brad paisely..

[@madi123_xo]

I’m going through a tough breakup right now, and this helped me so much. I needed this so bad.

[@sammonaghan7539]

This song reminds of my childhood. I used have a big imagination.

[@RedSquareLanguage]

I still tear up every time I hear this song

[@arianevelez98]

today i found out that there's a class for freshmen in my high school where you write yourself letters, you turn them in. and until senior year the students get them back and read them while this song is playing.

[@calebschmalzvacuums]

this song has helped me so much over the years.

[@dannylozano8462]

I remember hearing this song as a kid. Now I’m 26, single father. Song hits way different now

[@dakotaswallows9461]

was 9, 14 years ago. Song still hits

[@kaylamichelle586]

I found this song when I was like in...6th/7th grade? so like 2010. I always bawled my eyes out to this song.... I was 12 at the time and I am 25 now. Time changes fast. We still got so much going on for us.

[@nelsonsequeira1872]

Brad paisley has a mesmerising voice and the lyrics are fantastic The message is just have hope when things are going right and try to do something productive like learning something which will develop you

[@nikkibasham2315]

I love this song it is my life right now!

[@brandifromnc]

i loveeee brad paisley

[@Sydneyhughes143]

This song is amazing.

[@zoemartin599]

[@kaitlynmoberly5582]

We had to write about this song in my English class and what or perspective on this song and I wanted to cry

[@elizabethoney7512]

kaitlyn moberly same but not English for psychology

[@nikkibasham2315]

kaitlyn moberly we had to also for English

[@banyuvanas8646]

If I could write a letter to me And send it back in time to myself at seventeen First I'd prove it's me by saying Look under your bed There's a Skoal can and a Playboy No one else would know you hid And then I'd say I know it's tough When you break up after seven months And yeah I know you really liked her And it just don't seem fair But all I can say is pain like that Is fast and it's rare And oh, you got so much going for you, going right But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night She wasn't right for you and still you feel like there's a knife Sticking out of your back and you're wondering if you'll survive You'll make it through this and you'll see You're still around to write this letter to me At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th Always stop completely, don't just tap your brakes And when you get a date with Bridget Make sure the tank is full On second thought, forget it That one turns out kinda cool Each and every time you have a fight Just assume you're wrong and Dad is right And you should really thank Ms. Brinkman She spends so much extra time It's like she sees a diamond underneath And she's polishing you till you shine And oh, you got so much going for ya, going right But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead Because if you fail algebra, Mom and Dad'll kill you dead But trust me, you'll squeak by and get a C And you're still around to write this letter to me You've got so much up ahead You'll make new friends And you should see your kids and wife And I'll end by saying Have no fear These are nowhere near the best years of your life I guess I'll see you in the mirror When you're a grown man P.S. go hug Aunt Rita Every chance you can And oh, you got so much going for you going right But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night I wish you'd study Spanish, I wish you'd take a typing class I wish you wouldn't worry and let it be Hey, I'd say have a little faith and you'll see If I could write a letter to me To me...

[@israelmeza7035]

Damn I was in 9 grade when this song came now I’m 31 this song hits hard now lmao

[@marilyncurtis2933]

I love this song because its soo true

[@cheyennejackson5934]

I'm 17 and me and my best friend just graduated. This was sung by my cousin at my best friends graduation. The first time I heard this song was the first day of my freshman year and honestly it's really helped me through a lot. I cried when Tristan sang it because I didn't have to oprtunity to graduate with my friends. Because of medical issues. But this is honestly one of my favorite songs.

[@mollydiamond8181]

hits the feels everytime ❤

[@kenjunior7930]

Surely. Can we?

[@kellymonaghan1985]

I've thought about how cool it would be to have a video message from my future self while i was going through hard times, so that i knew how it turned out. That it would be alright.

[@MushroomU2]

You might miss some pain BUT you might miss the dance too. GL

[@unclegoose6796]

I have to say that no matter where life takes you that there will always be a plan god has a plan for you rather he takes you at a young age or Let’s you live your whole life always remember never give up keep fighting till it’s time for you to leave this world no one is promised tomorrow

[@stevenramirez2199]

One of my favorite songs from Brad Paisley ^.^

[@MilitantMountaineer]

[@KNIGHT.COMPANY]

This song always makes me lift my head up when things go wrong

[@geraldcollier322]

If I can right a letter to me, it would say: don't take everything the hard way. keep my head up and move forward. don't let anyone tell me different.

[@bethanymullen2948]

Absolutely love this song ❤️ it gives hope when there is none

[@mzkayleighlautner]

I wrote a letter to myself when I was 17. For high school. They kept mine though.

I'm 20 and I love this song

[@chopperrock45]

this song help me so much to get out of this hole and get back out there and not give up

[@FableFreak]

I can relate to this song so much right now ❤️‍🩹

[@alexandrachertov9813]

I'm 23 and I feel the same way...

[@aidansoguero2283]

God I hated high school so much, and everything in pop culture saying "these are the best years if your life" would make me so anxious about the future. I remember the first time I heard him say "have no fear, these are nowhere near the best years of your life". I felt so much better, so much more calm

[@cryziallen0491]

million thumbs up for this song

[@4amcuriosity162]

I first heard this when i was about 8. Then i understood it more, when i listened to it at 15. Completely balled my eyes out at 17, when i listened to it and broke up with my ex after 8 months. Now im 20..and im seeing..maybe he wasnt right for me? It still feels like theres knife sticking out of my back though... Maybe when im like 30. Ill make new friends, ..maybe these are nowhere near the best years of my life?

[@karleydavis5120]

love it tbh

[@vxvgloablhawkvxv1231]

I just went through a 9 month relationship only to find out she had been lying to me about loving me for nearly a month and didn't tell me until it was gone. The past few days I had felt like absolute shit and had suicidal thoughts. And hearing this song reminds me so much of my own life so far hearing it in this time of pain actually makes me feel kinda better knowing that theres so much ahead of me.

[@SMSHaley]

I understand how you feel. Im so sorry that that happened and if you need someone to talk to im here! I have had the same thoughts, but just know you'll back on this one day and realized how it really shaped you into the person you are and will be. You're so much more than what you're feeling now.

[@vxvgloablhawkvxv1231]

SMSHaley Thank you, it's been a hard week. Talking to someone new would probably be for the better for me so thank you for the suggestion

[@timothyfoeks6446]

2020 anyone ????

[@zainphyo2904]

Anyone 2019?

[@kevinfox500]

Sure, why not. Proof, I could almost match it, swapping under the bed with in the gun cabinet, and Skoal with Kodiak. And that the first time I tried it was at a friend's place, working on swapping the engine in his dad's 1977 Ford Fiesta, something on I would know,, as said friend had passed on 6 months later, and that stayed between us. As to what I'd tell myself, that's both easy and short. "Start being more honest with people, starting with yourself. Let the rift between you and mom go, because you will have less time with her than you think. Don't waste those years. And start paying more attention when you ride or drive, because one day, you won't be able to talk your way out of a ticket that is going to cost you dearly, and we don't live in an area with public transportation. "The rest of it, that's on you to figure out. I'd tell you not to do anything I would do, but we both know that's going to be a short list. Things are going to hurt, you're going to gain a few scars on the way, but none of them are going to kill you. "But they will make you stronger. Especially the ones that come close to doing so. Someday you will sit back and laugh at them. with the best friends you will ever have, and your family. The best is still ahead, for both of us." There's a lot I wouldn't say, simply because it would change too much, and could wind up ending far worse than it did at this point in my life. Each mistake I made, as with each thing I got right, make me who I am, and I'm happy with that person.

[@nadinendunda4844]

Beautiful song... love it until to die!

[@lucianopolverelli6287]

got a nice speeding ticket and been hell ever sense but i am only 17 and this song makes me feel like there is a future that things will be alright soon just keep on going

My 17 yr old just tore his meniscus AND ACL. He's played basketball since he was 4. His high school basketball career has ended. Kinda hard to go from starting to cheering. I know he'll be ok but I know it's hard to see that right now💔

[@codetest67]

I love this song

[@litinthemitt3206]

If I could write a letter to me I would start by telling myself to love me and to take care of myself. Don't smoke or hang out all day with people that have nothing going for them (still dont).. I'd tell my younger self to take school more serious and to believe it or not that when you grow up you will actually enjoy learning new facts, (conversations are easily made and carried). I would tell myself don't listen to anybody that tells you you can't do something just because they can't. I would tell myself to use grandma's garage and her connections to start up a buisness as young as possible. I'd let myself know that the heart breaks that I thought would destroy me made me stronger and more wise and one day it will fade away and you will find your forever and start a family. I'd say even though your brother is an asshole spend more time with him because he is only here for a short time and it will be the first major shift in your life. Help grandma more around her yard and make it appoint to sit in the pew at church with her more often. I'd tell myself to let your mom know she is loved, when you move out visit more often even though you are tired from your own stress and working she needs you, she needs someone. This one hurts the most, stay strong.

[@jimvarlas1798]

Get the lyrics right, it's "Tomlinson and 8th". It's in Glen Dale, WV

[@hillyplays29]

Jim Varlas and the wrong use of ‘your’ at the beginning. It’s you’re.

"Brakes", not "Breaks."

And put that bottle down faster than you picked it up. Its gonna drown you my friend.
