I learned that you could choose why you hurt Or you can let the world hurt you while you do nothing The moment of that decision will change everything I realized my heart was a stranger to me When someone ripped it open And showed me parts that I've never seen And the past will pace back and forth Waiting for me to fall asleep And haunt me in my dreams Take me back to a place we used to be What if the real victory is knowing that We will not make the same mistakes again Show them again and again who I am What if the real victory is knowing that We won't make the same mistakes again What if there's no victory at all I'm caught in the crossfire of my God and my mistakes Is there more to learn if this is all that I can take Clever words are no escape Feelings shouldn't be written in vain My God… I have no alibi I live beneath these northern lights We celebrate on autumn nights With the cement beneath our feet Brings our advice And the past will pace back and forth Waiting for me to fall asleep And haunt me in my dreams (FORGET EVERYTHING THAT YOU KNOW)
