Life On Rewind
How is it that things change so much
In just a small amout of time
Your life can be changed so fast
Sometimes you just want to hit rewind
To see the times to you smiled
To hear the words others said
To look back to who was always there
To simply appreciate what you had
But do you wish
When you look back
That things hadn’t change
I wish I would have trusted
The ones I do now
I wish for all I have now
To be a part of my past
All of it together
Why is it I’m distant
From all the love I used to have
My passions, my dreams
Have I forgotten
Have I lost myself
What is it I’m searching for
I have everything I need
I’m even happy
But still there’s something missing
I miss haven you there
I miss calling you
Just to tell you I care
Do you ever feel that way
Or am I just insane
Maybe one day
Things will be the same
When I felt whole
When I felt comeplete
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried so hard
And I’ve made it this far
But still there’s a long way to go
I’ve learned to trust and to forgive
But still I can’t take back all the things I did
If only it were that simple
Then everything would have stayed the same
The same to the point of agreement
I would have cherish
I would have honored
Those I loved so dearly
But now I’m gone
I’ve gone away
To live a new life
To just try and be me
I just wanted to be free
Now I miss those who were closest to me
But one day things will get better
And maybe we’ll see each other again
Until then to you
I say
I love you with my whole heart
Nothing more and nothing less
