Lyrics
I look back, and wonder
I reflect on the past and contemplate
Have I let time escape
Am I allowing time to slip away?
Days pass and, years slip away
Days and years are passing unnoticed
It’s sad when young dreams fade
Expressing sorrow for the fading of youthful dreams
Though I’ve gone from day to day
Despite the routine of daily life
My mind is filled with wonder of
Contemplating missed opportunities
the things that might have been
Imagining what could have been
Never took the time
Regret for not dedicating time
to find the things inside that I need
Failed to explore inner needs
Something else always in the way
Constant distractions preventing self-discovery
Never said the things I should have said
Failure to communicate important feelings
so you could know me and what
Desire for understanding and connection
makes me breathe
Revealing what defines and motivates the speaker
Each moment, that has been lost
Sorrow for moments that can never be reclaimed
will never come again
Acknowledging the irreversibility of lost time
We never know the cost
Unaware of the true cost of neglecting friendships
of those who should be friends
Reflecting on the regret of not valuing friendships
How it troubles me to think all the love
Expressing regret for not recognizing past love
that passed me by and I was blind to see
Blindness to love that passed unnoticed
Never took the time to find the
Reiteration of neglecting inner needs
things inside that I need
Difficulty breaking established habits
Habits are hard sometimes to break
Failure to express essential thoughts and emotions
Never said the things I should have
Consistently choosing the safe path
said so you could know me
Acknowledging the missed opportunities in life
Always playing safe
Choosing caution over taking risks
The things I’ve missed along the way
Acknowledging the cumulative losses
will all come back tomorrow
Belief in the possibility of redemption and renewal
with the light of a new day
Hope for a fresh start with a new day
Never took the chance but what I’ve
Regret for missed chances in the past
found could be a new way letting
Discovering a potential new way of living
myself accept and change
Acceptance and willingness to change
Never want the world
Expressing a desire not to be forgotten
to spin another day without me
Fear of being excluded from the world
Never let it end
Resolution not to let life come to an end
