Lyrics

Left many friends behind

Left behind numerous friends

I think they went and thought I lost my mind

Others perceived that I had lost my sanity

But for years I felt confined

I felt restricted or confined for many years

With all the small thinking of our time

Frustrated with narrow-minded thinking of the era

And I'm convinced nobody would ever have a clue

Belief that nobody could comprehend my experiences

Of all that I've been through

A recognition of the trials and challenges I've faced

Dropped it all, let it fall and I ran to you

Abandoned everything and fled towards you

The smartest thing I'd ever do

Identified running to you as a wise decision

Hated to love, I was concerned

Felt a dislike for loving, was worried or troubled

About living life and getting burned

Concerned about experiencing pain or failure in life

A repeat performance going on in my life

Repetitive cycles of negative experiences in my life

Hated to love but still I'd yearn

Disliked the act of loving but still had a strong desire for it

And I've returned to relearn

Came back to learn again

How to live a life worth living

Striving to understand how to lead a meaningful life

And I wanted to confide

Wanted to share openly

Not to hide but my friends and family

Felt unable to communicate with friends and family

Just couldn't hear my side

They couldn't understand my perspective

So I walked right on by

Chose to bypass and continue living

And tried to live a life

Struggled to find contentment in life

Where I'd finally be satisfied

Seeking a life that would finally make me feel fulfilled

Most won't agree with me, that's ok by me

Comfortable with disagreement from others

'cause I don't agree with most of the population

Don't align with the majority; fine with that

And popularity don't mean so much to me

Uninterested in popular opinion

I can't invest in their success, it needs interpretation

Cannot invest in their success without understanding them

Seasons change, night turns to day

Reflecting on the changes in life, questioning their impermanence

Why must it all just slip away ?

Wondering why everything seems to slip away

Dreams all fade, create yesterday

Realization that dreams lose their significance over time

But I know this can stay

Confidence in the permanence of certain aspects despite change
