Thank You - Lil Maq

ever since i was a small child
you have cared for me, taken care of me
whatever i wanted you got for me
you'd buy it even if you had to borrow the money
didn't always give you respect
but in your own way you kept me intact
and told me that i can be anything i wanted
all i have to do is just work for it
and it's funny how i see all of the things you said i'd see
all the lying and disrespect i wanna take it back but since i can't
i think that this is my time, time for me to say

i wanna say thank you
and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
and i just wanna let you know
i thank you and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
i just had to let you know
i just had to let you know

when i first started this singing thing
you were there for me
with my mama, my daddy
you were the only one who told them (?)
on me you told me something special was inside of me
and one day everyone would see it
you never doubted me
when i didn't believe in me, you helped me see if i believed
i can do anything and i thank you
i think that this is my time, time for me to say

i wanna say thank you
and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
and i just wanna let you know
i thank you and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
i just had to let you know
i just had to let you know

all the things i never said
keep running around in my head
feeling like i need you by my side
and it's so hard when you love someone from your heart
and then one day they're gone

i just wanna say thank you
and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
and i just wanna let you know
i thank you and i know that you're not here
but i feel your presence near
i feel you in my heart, i feel you in my soul
i just had to let you know
i just had to let you know
