I try to forget my past and keep on moving forward
Sometimes I try to hide my faults, and pretend they don’t exist
Trying to hide my imperfections, trying to make believe I am all that
I know that once I let go of my past, I look ahead to my future
As I try to put my past behind me, letting go of all the pain
I try to be open, with myself and others, but I keep coming up breathless
Taking my past with me where ever I go
I don’t want my past to keep me from my future
May today be the day I live free from my past, be able to live at last
I am giving up my past, to look ahead to the things ahead
I have been learning a lot from my past
But I give it to you at last
I try to come before you and giving you my past,
I don’t know how you do it, but you don’t hold it against me
As you open up my eyes, to help me fully see
I don’t understand the reason, but I thank you.
