Same Mistakes
Breaking Chains: Healing from the Past in 'Same Mistakes'
Lyrics
I have a hard time going back, I'll admit it
I struggle to revisit the past, and I acknowledge it.
I carry a lot of it after the fact
I bear the consequences long after the events have occurred.
I grew up in a family of wolves
I was raised in a challenging and perhaps aggressive family environment.
I was fighting for my life
I had to fight for survival in my upbringing.
Felt safer at school
I found a sense of safety at school rather than at home.
You had your head down you didn't know
You were unaware, possibly preoccupied or oblivious.
I don't blame you
I don't hold you responsible for the situation.
I don't blame you but don't expect me to show
I don't blame you, but don't expect me to display forgiveness easily.
I think that I am healing
I believe that I am in the process of healing from past experiences.
Can you blame me? I am healing
This healing process is understandable; can you really fault me for it?
I wish I could go back and tell my younger self
I desire to go back in time and offer guidance to my younger self.
None of this matters even though it hurts like hell
Despite the pain, I recognize that the current struggles will eventually not matter.
Don't underestimate me
Do not underestimate my strength and resilience.
I am the way you raised me
I am a product of the way you raised me, for better or worse.
But I can change
Although influenced by my upbringing, I have the capacity to change.
I won't make the same mistakes
I am determined not to repeat the same errors or misjudgments.
I won't make the same mistakes
I am committed to learning from past experiences and avoiding similar pitfalls.
