Can't you get it through your head I don't like the way things used to be Won't you ever understand The way I was just wasn't for me I really wish that you would try To understand my reasons why I changed for the better, I'm proud to say Goodbye to what I threw away Times have changed and so have I I've learned a lot, my knowledge grew What held me back I left behind If you can't accept it then I'll leave you too When I stopped I looked around I left behind what was keeping me down Now I can see things clear Because I learn from all the words I hear Break free from what is in your way Make a change - it's not so hard to break away
