Change the Ending

Verse 1

I spent years talking to the ghost of who I used to be

Trying to find excuses in every memory

And every road I should’ve taken keeps calling out my name

But looking back forever never changes anything

Pre-Chorus

So I’m learning how to live

With the pieces that remain

Chorus

You can’t go back and change the beginning

But you can start where you are and change the ending

Every scar, every heartbreak, every night spent pretending

Don’t mean your story’s done

No, you can still change the ending

Verse 2

I carried all my failures like a weight around my chest

Thinking I was sinking when I was just being tested

And maybe all the tears were never wasted after all

‘Cause every time I hit the ground, I learned again to crawl

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m trying to believe

There’s still time left for me

Chorus

You can’t go back and change the beginning

But you can start where you are and change the ending

Every scar, every heartbreak, every night spent pretending

Don’t mean your story’s done

No, you can still change the ending

Bridge

Oh, the past is just a lesson

Not a life sentence

And I don’t have to be

Who I was back then

Final Chorus

You can’t go back and change the beginning

But you can stand back up and fight for something different

And all the pain you carry now

Might someday make you fearless

No, your story’s not done

You can still change the ending
