Washed Out
Washed Out Reflections: Embracing Life's Unpredictable Journey
Lyrics
You think I should feel left behind,
You believe I should feel left behind,
I don’t want to fight, not this time
I don’t want to engage in conflict, not this time
But, my excuses have run dry
However, I've exhausted my justifications
I’ve gone my own way,
I’ve followed my own path,
Another drink, another day
Indulging in another drink, another day
I’m not sure if I could change
I'm uncertain if I'm capable of changing
‘Cause I’m so washed out,
Because I feel depleted,
I can’t seem to shake this doubt,
I can’t seem to dispel this uncertainty,
If I could just dry out, this time, for real
If I could genuinely recover this time,
You’d see, the man I’m supposed to be
You’d witness the person I am meant to be
It’s been a long and lonely road,
It’s been a prolonged and solitary journey,
Where it goes, I don’t know,
Where it leads, I’m unaware,
It’s just the path I chose
It’s simply the route I’ve chosen
I wouldn’t trade a single day,
I wouldn’t exchange even a single day,
So don’t force me to change,
So please don't compel me to alter,
I’ve got to move at my own pace
I need to progress at my own speed
‘Cause I’m so washed out,
As I feel drained,
I can’t seem to shake this doubt,
I can’t seem to rid myself of this uncertainty,
If I could just dry out, this time, for real,
If I could genuinely recover this time,
You’d see, the man I’m supposed to be
You’d witness the person I am meant to be
I could tell you, that I don’t know
I could declare that I’m unaware,
My mistakes, they’re my own
My errors belong to me alone
I made my choices, some were good, some were bad
I made decisions, some favorable, some unfavorable,
But, what I said, & what I did,
But what I articulated and did,
There was no cause for that
There was no justification for that
