Leaving Myself Behind

מילים

(Verse 1) It won't be long until I leave; I took the path I shouldn't take. I'm marching toward the place I fear, Paying for my own mistake. (Chorus) Don't be ashamed, don't look away, I live too fast, I move too blind. I'm nothing like the ones who raised me, Still, I'm trying to leave worse behind. You never saw the heavy price, Or what it costs to earn a stain— Sometimes you have to take the hit And learn to live inside the pain. (Verse 2) I wiped the tears and cleared the haze, I laced my boots and wore a smile. I stood my ground through heavier days, And carried burden for a mile. It's time to break this quiet shell, To turn the page and walk away, To step out of this inner hell And finally catch the light of day. (Chorus) Don't be ashamed, don't look away, I live too fast, I move too blind. I'm nothing like the ones who raised me, Still, I'm trying to leave worse behind. You never saw the heavy price, Or what it costs to earn a stain— Sometimes you have to take the hit And learn to live inside the pain.
