I can't change the past or fix the present
And it seems the future I have isn't mine
But maybe somewhere in the middle I can repent
And cease to relive the things in my timeline
It's not easy moving on from yesterday
But it's not like I have a choice
Now that there's only one way
For me to go but that's not without a voice
I've had my ups and I've had my downs
I've taken my beatings and had some fun
I've given up many a smile and plenty of frowns
But I'd like to say I'm content when it's all said and done
Maybe this wasn't meant to be
Or maybe it was and I'm lost for the moment
But that's something I can't yet see
So I'll stop thinking about it and come back to the present
I have more than most but not as much as some
I've got love from a girl and a few good friends
I know where I am and haven't forgotten where I'm from
So for the present I'm not yet ready to give in to my ends
And it seems the future I have isn't mine
But maybe somewhere in the middle I can repent
And cease to relive the things in my timeline
It's not easy moving on from yesterday
But it's not like I have a choice
Now that there's only one way
For me to go but that's not without a voice
I've had my ups and I've had my downs
I've taken my beatings and had some fun
I've given up many a smile and plenty of frowns
But I'd like to say I'm content when it's all said and done
Maybe this wasn't meant to be
