Lyrics
When you're young and wild and free
Expressing the carefree nature of youth
Keep your eyes on what you can't see
Encouraging focus on the unknown and possibilities
Hearts grow cold and they fill with greed
Highlighting the potential for hearts to become cold and greedy
And best friends can turn into enemies
Warning about the changing dynamics of friendships
Life still goes on
Reflecting on the continuity of life despite challenges
You know I've been around
Conveying experience and a journey through life
It doesn't matter now
Emphasizing that past experiences are irrelevant
You know I've been around
Reiterating the singer's diverse experiences
But does it matter now
Questioning the significance of past experiences
When new days come what do they bring
Pondering the outcomes of new days
With every turn are more bad things
Suggesting that each turn in life brings challenges
A lesson lost ain't learned for free
Stressing the cost of not learning from lost lessons
A ticking time bomb of misery
Depicting a looming sense of impending misery
Life still goes on
Reaffirming the persistence of life
You know I've been around
Repeating the acknowledgment of diverse experiences
It doesn't matter now
Reasserting the insignificance of past events
You know I've been around
Reiterating the singer's varied journey through life
But does it matter now
Raising the question of the importance of past experiences
Where'd I go wrong
Expressing a sense of personal failure or mistake
And why'd I stay for so long
Questioning the duration of staying in a challenging situation
Running
Describing a state of running away from problems
And hiding
Emphasizing the act of avoiding challenges
And hiding
Repeating the theme of hiding from difficulties
From running
Switching perspective to emphasize the act of running
I was running
Recalling a past state of running away from problems
And hiding
Repeating the theme of hiding from challenges
And hiding
Continuing the theme of avoiding difficulties
From running
Re-emphasizing the act of running from problems
I'm tired
Expressing fatigue from the continuous act of running
Of running
Stating a desire to stop running from a persistent issue
From something
Describing the challenge faced in the process of running away
That's been in my way
Expressing the difficulty in overcoming an obstacle
I can't win
Acknowledging the impossibility of winning in certain situations
What happened
Reflecting on a past event or circumstance
Back when
Specifying a time when changes occurred
The days were changing
Describing a period of transition in the past
I'm blackened
Admitting to wrongdoing or guilt
I have sinned
Expressing a sense of being tainted or corrupted
I'm trapped in
Feeling trapped in difficult situations
These situations
Acknowledging being stuck in challenging circumstances
I Reset
Expressing a desire to reset past regrets
These regrets
Acknowledging the presence of regrets
And Forget
Expressing a wish to forget and move on
All of everything
Describing a process of letting go of past experiences
And now I live in better days
Indicating a positive change in the singer's current life
Let it go
Encouraging the act of letting go of the past
