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, 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
