In the waning days ahead
I gotta look back down the road.
I know that it's not too late.
All the stupid things I've said
And people I've hurt in my time.
I hope it's not my fate
To keep defeating my own self
And keep repeating yesterday.
I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth.
In the dark of night, I might
Be able to make myself think
That I'm still a younger man.
But when the light of day shines down
There's no way to get around it
I'm not the younger man.
I keep defeating my own self
And keep repeating yesterday.
I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth.
The choice is mine for making
A better road ahead
The road that I've been taking
Headed for a dead-end
But it's not too late to turn around
In the final moments
I hope that I know that I tried
To do best I could
To stop defeating my own self
And stop repeating yesterday.
I can't keep defeating myself
I can't keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth.
