My Own Way

I never wanted to be worthless, but life had other plans for me
I watched the earth fall out from underneath my feet
Pointless. I'm a slave to my own mistakes
Surrounded by regrets where there is no escape
Am I making a difference
Dwelling on time I spent an empty silhouette?
Can I cling to the surface when all
I feel around me is disappointment?

Why are we hiding from our past
(I won't forget)
Forever trying to go back?
(I won't forget)
I won't forget

Push through
Shake the earth to its core
There has to be more than this
Can I cling to the surface? Or am I left here, buried in my regret

Am I making a difference
Dwelling on time I spent an empty silhouette?
Can I cling to the surface when all
I feel around me is disappointment?
Why are we hiding from our past, (I won't forget)
Forever trying to go back? (I won't forget)
Why are we running from our shadows?
We should embrace where we came from
I won't forget, I won't forget

You've probably noticed I can't do this on my own
So take me, and make me find my way back home
I'll never be the perfect son you intended for me to be
But I know who I am and I will make my own way

Why are we hiding from our past, (I won't forget)
Forever trying to go back? (I won't forget)
Why are we running from our shadows?
We should embrace where we came from
I won't forget, I won't forget

Won't forget!
