Second Chance

The past was not perfect
There are many things I wish to forget
Life went on, I stay chained to those memories
'Wish I could change', I'd hear me say

No matter where life takes us
We'll always return to the point
where we left some questions unanswered
Today's happenings will lead us to our yesterday

Like a knot that needs to be undone
before the pearls can come together
The longer you keep the task pending
The pile of problems will keep on increasing

Without dealing with your past
the present can never be fully lived
If you've learned to live anyway
Don't be so happy for you know it too
that a half life you had been living and
you still choose to live

I am on my path to venture into the mysteries of
what I could have been and what I can now be

I'll risk my present
For this is no life at all
Pretending everything is fine
When I know what's wrong all along

The safety of today
it is hard to throw it all away
but now it's so difficult to say it's all fine
when I see the cracked lines in my life's wall

So, I'll go on my trail and mend my yesterday
to get a second chance to live a happy today
