If I Could Change the Past
Rewriting Regrets: Anna Vitale's Journey through Redemption
Lyrics
Stuck in a world of worry and doubt
Feeling trapped in a world filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
I didn't know how to get out
Expressing a lack of knowledge on how to escape the difficult situation.
I fought for awhile
Fighting against challenges for a period.
Forcing on a smile
Putting on a fake smile despite inner struggles.
I had miles to go
Having a long journey ahead, metaphorically or literally.
Where do I start
Expressing uncertainty about where to begin addressing the issues.
When I can't play the right part
Feeling inadequate in playing the expected role in life.
When I don't know where my heart wants me to go
Experiencing confusion about personal desires and directions.
If I could try again
Expressing a desire for a second chance.
I'd have made it all last
Regretting that things didn't last longer the first time around.
It wouldn't go by so fast
Reflecting on the quick passage of time.
If I could change the past
Expressing a wish to change past events.
Caught in a storm that pulled me in deep
Describing being engulfed in a challenging situation or emotion.
I was climbing up a steep steep hill
Facing a difficult uphill battle metaphorically.
I wanted to write it all down
Desiring to document or express the challenges faced.
I was scared I would drown
Fearing the possibility of being overwhelmed by difficulties.
Where do I start
Reiterating the uncertainty about where to begin addressing issues.
When I can't play the right part
Feeling inadequate in playing the expected role in life.
When I don't know where my heart wants me to go
Experiencing confusion about personal desires and directions.
If I could try again
Expressing a desire for a second chance.
I'd have made it all last
Regretting that things didn't last longer the first time around.
It wouldn't go by so fast
Reflecting on the quick passage of time.
If I could change the past
Expressing a wish to change past events.
I start out strong
Starting with strength or determination.
But as I go along
Encountering doubt and uncertainty as the journey progresses.
I start drowning in doubt
Feeling overwhelmed by doubt as time goes on.
And I just wanna shout
Expressing a desire to release pent-up emotions.
Shout it all out
Wanting to express feelings loudly and emphatically.
Where do I start
Reiterating the uncertainty about where to begin addressing issues.
When I can't play the right part
Feeling inadequate in playing the expected role in life.
I don't know where my heart wants me to go
Experiencing confusion about personal desires and directions.
If I could try again
Expressing a desire for a second chance.
I'd have made it all last
Regretting that things didn't last longer the first time around.
It wouldn't go by so fast
Reflecting on the quick passage of time.
If I could change the past
Expressing a wish to change past events.
Oh
Uttering a vocalization, possibly to convey emotion or emphasis.
Oh it went by so fast
Expressing the rapid pace at which time has passed.
But I can't change the past
Acknowledging the inability to alter historical events.
