My Own Way - If Not for Me

I never wanted to be worthless, but life had other plans for me

I watched the earth fall out from underneath my feet

Pointless.

I’m a slave to my own mistakes, surrounded by regrets where there is

no escape

Am I making a difference, dwelling on time I spent an empty silhouette?

Can I cling to the surface when all I feel around me is disappointment?

Why are we hiding from our past

(I won’t forget)

Forever trying to go back?

(I won’t forget)

I won’t forget

Push through

Shake the earth to its core

There has to be more than this

Can I cling to the surface?

Or am I left here, buried in my regret

Am I making a difference, dwelling on time I spent an empty silhouette?

Can I cling to the surface when all I feel around me is disappointment?

Why are we hiding from our past, (I won’t forget)

Forever trying to go back?

(I won’t forget)

Why are we running from our shadows?

We should embrace where we came from

I won’t forget.

I won’t forget

You’ve probably noticed I can’t do this on my own

So take me, make me find my way back home

I’ll never be the perfect son you intended for me to be

But I know who I am and I will make my own way

Why are we hiding from our past, (I won’t forget)

Forever trying to go back?

(I won’t forget)

Why are we running from our shadows?

We should embrace where we came from

I won’t forget.

I won’t forget

Won’t forget
