lyrics

Time to look back and think away, take the other lines out of play
Put all the words want to say, and make this made up memory stay
Turn these thoughts into reality and carve them into stone
Prevent the past from coming back just let it go
You’re a better man now let it be known
That was then and this is now, time has let you grow

You’d like to think you were too young to know
Even though it doesn’t seem so long ago
Something tells you that you’ve always known
You dug a pit too deep without a ladder or a rope

Wishing there was a way to block out the past
Take the memories you want and make sure the others don’t last

You used to think you were even with everybody else
Now you’re sinking to the bottom, can’t take a breath to yell for help
But who would even save you
You did this to yourself
