Nostalgia

Making peace with the things I can't control
I've seen it all, now take me home
Thinking about yesterday
Contemplating on my past mistakes
as I learn to let it go
Is this failure or is this fate?
Thankful every day for those who stay
I can't do this on my own
I made myself a pact
I will find a better path
I keep living in the past
But it's really not so bad
I can't let it infect me
I can't let them win
I'll find inner peace
I'm shedding my skin
"I'm finally free from your tyranny"
said the man in the mirror staring back at me
I can't keep living in the past
It's time that I live for today
Now there's no turning back
it's time to move forward
can't let these thoughts get in my way
I long for a place I may never return
I'm living in exile no more
I made myself a pact
That I'll forge a better path
and live greater than ever before
Is this failure or is this fate?
Easy to feel lonely in this place
But I know I'm not alone
"Am I finally free from your tyranny?"
said the self fulfilling prophecy
I can't keep living in the past
It's time that I live for today
Now there's no turning back
it's time to find courage
and live to fight another day
I long for a time that will never return
I'm living in sorrow no more
I made a new pact
I'll clean up my act
and embrace what I chose to ignore for so long
Letting go of yesterday
It's time to find a better way
Face yourself with who you are
I've seen it all, now take me home
I will make it on my own
