[Verse 1]
I hope you get the message
Hi, my name is Aaron
Life is getting tough cause I'm fighting with my parents
They don't understand it, what it's like to be afraid
Of coming out the closet cause I'm secretly gay
I listen to your music; I find it therapeutic
And I don't feel alone when I hear it cause it's soothing
You really seem to get me in ways I can't describe
When I listen to your music I feel like I'm alive
I'm sorry for the bother but I'm asking for your help
The pain is hard to deal with; I tried to hang myself
I'm at a brеaking point and I want to end my life
So I'm reaching out to you, asking for advicе

[Chorus]
When your backs against the wall
And you're reaching out for help
You don't know who to call
So you write to save yourself
Fan letters, fan letters
I pray that your days get better
Fan letters, fan letters
The words that you write I treasure

[Verse 2]
Hi, my name's Sam
My husband is abusive
I love your song Brave and I listen to your music
I'm feeling so useless I need to run away
My body has bruises and I know I'm unsafe
My kid is five, I taught him how to hide
So when his dad drinks we can make it out alive
I'm sick of all the crying, sick of all the violence
I'm begging for your help; I really need guidance
I'm hoping that you get this and send me a prayer
Or give me a response so I know that you care
I feel like I'm a ghost and there's nobody there
I'm stuck inside a loop of a terrible nightmare

[Chorus]
When your backs against the wall
And you're reaching out for help
You don't know who to call
So you write to save yourself
Fan letters, fan letters
I pray that your days get better
Fan letters, fan letters
The words that you write I treasure

[Verse 3]
Every single letter
Every single phrase
Every single word
That is written on the page
I see it, I read it, I need it to survive
It's fans like you that seem to keep me alive
You give me purpose to help a lot of people
It's really got me nervous cause the world is full of evil
I'm sorry that you're sad and you're hurting inside
And these dark thoughts infiltrate and lurk in your mind
I get the struggle, just know you're not alone
Every day's a battle inside of your war zone
Some people try to hurt you and others throw stones
When you're looking for a safe place; you can call home

[Chorus]
When your backs against the wall
And you're reaching out for help
You don't know who to call
So you write to save yourself
Fan letters, fan letters
I pray that your days get better
Fan letters, fan letters
The words that you write I treasure
