Kehlani - The Letter (Official Audio)

[@amberlemus9313]

"every girl needs a mother, and damnit i needed you" - kehlani damn this so deep i love her music

[@malavewifey]

It’s a whole mood..

[@teresaperrywesley7514]

That's rly deep...

[@Arnelle.lozada]

The amazing thing about this song is even though she's singing it as an adult, it brings you back to a child's perspective. It's a very heartfelt way of communicating what a child whose parent has disappeared is probably feeling but cannot yet articulate. Makes you feel for all the abandoned children, makes you want to be a better parent, and makes you believe that even if you don't have parents around you can still make something beautiful of yourself. RESPECT.

[@AmberGWoods]

the emotion she poured into this song. goddamn. gives me chills.

[@GirlsOfAqua]

This song speaks to me so much. I've always had trouble connecting with my mother on an emotional level and felt like I was never good enough in her eyes. I've always had trouble with hanging with her, talking with her, it would always end in shouting and yelling. Sometimes she would even choose her friends over me. But I've come to realize its not my fault. I'm doing the best that I can to be her kid... still, this song made me cry. Great work kehlani.

[@kaceymoney8567]

GirlsOfAqua as a kid I never got to see my mom or dad as a kid It was painful to not see them there but there in a better place now my sisters an I don't get along either so I'm alone in this world but I have one person who was there by my side the whlole time he was by you to god got me thought it all Your not alone you have to be strong in your word an in God's

The first time my 6 year old sister, cried the moment she heard his song. Her birth mother, left her when she was 3 & she was left heart broken. Even though our family adopted her & my mom became her mom, she still felt that emptiness of her real mother. Her hearing this song, made her feel all those feelings, and she told me she didn't know that people went through the same thing she did. Kehlani, although you may not read this, I hope you realize how much your music effects all hearts, even little ones. We thank you for your music! Much love, From AZ

I didn't know how much the absence of my real mother affected me until I heard this song for the first time. when she said every girl needs a mother I couldn't stop crying. I'm grateful for the women who is my mom now but still can't help but feel hurt.

[@arianaabril2585]

Mononoke I was adopted at 6 months. My mother now is an angel sent to care for me and my biological sisters. I can't help but feel guilt and fault when I look in the mirror and see my mother in my face. I am healing this song hits deeps within me it resonates with the emptiness I felt for so long. I've decided to fill this space with compassion and love even for my biological parents who left us all stranded.

[@emilycolstion4368]

Omg saaaame😭

[@AbbySampson]

LYRICS I can hear your laugh It's ringing through the hallways I can see your smile It's what gets me through my hard days And your words was suppose to get me through my heartache, before my heartbreak There's an emptiness that only few ever fill And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real And it compliments my scars that will never heal [Chorus:] Maybe I didn't deserve you Maybe I just couldn't cure you They told me that I didn't hurt you Why do I feel like I turned you? Maybe I don't understand it Tell me is this how you planned it? Did you see us so stranded Maybe I'm too much to manage [Verse 2:] And if you weren't gonna guide me Why bring me into the light? Must have done something to make you want to run and hide Why oh why didn't you just live your life? And every girl needs a mother And damn it I needed you Instead you duck for cover And you ran from the truth And like kids do You waited around for proof [Chorus] Maybe I didn't deserve you...

it's so surreal how this song speaks exactly how I feel and what I went through with my own mom! I'm not seeking sympathy but simply acknowledging the fact that this is the type of music that is filled with so much soul, so much emotion and so real that people like me are able to listen to it and feel like it was written from their own heart! there is not a time when I don't cry while listening to this song. Thank you so much Kehlani .. for expressing something that I could never have been able to put into words.

Everyone is commenting how this song helps them. Well, my mom abandoned me when I was 7. I never understood why she left me and my brother but when I got older the people I lived with told me she was a drug addict. I'm 16 now and 2 years ago she came back and she was "better" and she brought home another kid. 9 months ago she went back on drugs and left my little sister behind. This song hurts me so bad because it hits so close to home. I'm not trying to get people to feel bad for me because me and her don't have a relationship anymore. I hope to be a better mother than she ever was.

In short words. Kehlani, I found your song, " The Way'", randomly so I thought... Then when I needed to let all these feelings of hurt you, this song came up,. Thank you for opening those wounds, and writing about it. I know how much it hurt and burned you to write this, cause when I sang it and I sung with you, I had never hear your song before, but I sang through it like I wrote it, and with tears in my eyes, I sang my heart out.... My Mom hasn't passed away, she just wasn't a part of my life, I can't say that I am the woman I am today because of her, but I can say that she taught me what NOT to do when I become a Mother.

once you relate this to a parent abandoning you it has a different meaning... I understand what she went through was different, but it is relevant in a sense. I pray for all of us to carry the strength of that abandonment and turn it into to hope and motivation to become the people we have been exhibited not to become. were better than that, and hate and resentment won't heal our hearts. I no longer feel hurt hearing this song, I became the person i am with or without whoever left me.

Kehlani your one strong person. You can hear it in the way you sing. Hearing this hearing you being real and crying had me in tears. We all go through things in life. I know I'm not alone

[@Tkenz5]

I legit started tearing up at the end. Ugh, I'm so glad I was introduced to her

[@rayenise6151]

i remember all the times i listened to this song after me and my ex broken up , i remember how i felt , how damaged & broken i felt . i felt like shit because i broke up with her but later found out she was cheating on me & it made me confused on how to feel , i didn’t know if i should blame myself or tell myself it wasn’t my fault . i broke up w her because she was making it seem our relationship was something that was stressing her out , which later she made it known that our relationship WAS stressing her out but she idk made the blame on me . i’m happy and better now but this song brings so many painful memories .

[@heygirlroni]

This makes me think of my mom who passed away 8 years ago as of yesterday...My heart is so heavy & its songs like this that touch me the most... Dear Kehlani, you don't understand what your music has done for me...

[@hollyymariiee.]

I freaking love this song.😍😭 its my favorite off the whole album

[@missa.505]

All my life I searched for a song that describes how I feel about my Dad leaving. This song means so much to me. It's so raw and real. I love your music Kehlani!

[@CierraHatley]

So much freaking soul ! Lord who gave you this power

[@NicolePowder-Hansen]

I sing this but from my children’s perspective, they lost their father to drug addiction. Gets me right in the soul, every time. Thank you, Kehlani ❤️‍🩹 your vulnerability is beautiful 💕

I'm crying I can't this is so deep

[@utibesbazz8916]

Her crying at the end really breaks my heart, I wish I could give her a hug and a pure smile

[@HarmonizedBelieber]

My mother died of cancer when I was 17, I started seeing people to fill that void. I blamed myself for it all happening. I hate that it happened so early in my life. If just feels like a dream. This song makes me so emotional. You realize there is no purer love than a maternal one.

[@builtbodyfitness]

saw her perform this live in London a few days ago . girl can sing and had some of us crying especially to realise it's about her mum. she's going to be big

[@johnellekeyes9184]

This song reminds me of my childhood of dad leaving me when I was 5. Until another man came in my life was treating like his own daughter. Dad here is a messages to you... "maybe i didnt needed you".
