(Verse 1)
I look back at the choices, the ones I made,
Thought I was winning, but I was just played.
Chasing the thrill, didn’t think about the cost,
But now I see the price of what I lost.
(Pre-Chorus)
It wasn’t just me, it hit them hard,
The weight of my actions left scars,
My family hurt, my pockets drained,
In the mess I made, I was chained.
(Chorus)
I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,
But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.
I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,
All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.
I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,
I’m building a future, getting back on track.
(Verse 2)
I watched my family fall apart,
While I was chasing dreams in the dark.
I didn’t see the hurt I left behind,
Now I’m fixing what I broke, piece by piece, line by line.
(Pre-Chorus)
The weight on my heart, the tears that fell,
I felt the burn of my own personal hell,
But now I see, I can make it right,
One step forward into the light.
(Chorus)
I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,
But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.
I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,
All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.
I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,
I’m building a future, getting back on track.
(Bridge)
It’s hard to erase the past,
But I’m stronger now, I’ll make it last.
I see the value in what I’ve found,
Rising above, turning it around.
(Chorus)
I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,
But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.
I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,
All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.
I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,
I’m building a future, getting back on track.
(Outro)
It’s a better life, it’s a brighter day,
I’ll keep on climbing, come what may.
No more looking back, just moving ahead,
Learning from the past, I’m living instead.
