Letter To God (1983) Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse]
I left home and moved to Brooklyn where my boyfriend had a place
And he had track marks on his arms but had the most angelic face
I watched my friends die before twenty-one, and now I'm twenty-eight
I'm at the doctor's every day, because I can't stop losing weight
And now I'm the one with needles in my arms and in my legs
I'm making jokes about the blood tests, and I'm plannin' my estate
And I don't wanna blame the child, but I have to speculate
If this could all just be an answer to those prayers that came delayed
Because I never would have said it if I knew I'd have to wait
Until the moment I was happy, then it all disintegrates, and I'm singin'
[Chorus]
"Please, God, I don't wanna be sick
And I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
Please, God, I wanna be loved
Don't wanna be somebody that you're tryna get rid of
Please, God, I don't wanna be sick
And I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
Please, God, I wanna be loved
I don't wanna be somebody you're tryna get rid of"
[Outro]
Thank you
[Verse]
In this verse, Halsey recounts her challenging experiences, having left home to move to Brooklyn, where she lived with her boyfriend. She highlights the contrast between his "angelic face" and his struggles with addiction, mirroring her own descent into physical hardship. The mention of "needles" signifies both the medical treatments she's undergoing and perhaps a sense of inherited struggle. Halsey reflects on how past prayers seem to be answered in ways she hadn’t foreseen, as if her current struggles are the delayed responses to those prayers, arriving only when she had achieved fleeting happiness.
[Chorus]
In this chorus, Halsey offers a direct plea to God, expressing a desire for relief from sickness and pain. Her words reveal a vulnerability and fear of being unwanted or abandoned, as she prays not to be "somebody that you're tryna get rid of." This request highlights her longing to feel loved and secure, not only physically but also spiritually. She seeks both physical healing and an assurance of belonging, conveying her inner conflict between hope and despair.
[Outro]
The outro, where Halsey simply says "Thank you," leaves a bittersweet impression. It may signify her attempt to express gratitude despite the suffering she faces, or it might indicate a resigned acceptance of her fate. This closing line adds a haunting layer to her message, subtly acknowledging her vulnerability and strength.
