Staring at a blue lined page
Trying to find the answers in ink
What would I ever leave behind
If I was to die today?
I'm strong enough to say
That I have plenty of regrets
And maybe I will never change
My whole life will be a waste
What did I do with the years
Now that I'm pushing 23
And I still can't tell the difference
between the right and the wrong thing
How did I get so fucking good
At hurting everyone I love?
Is that all I'll be remembered for?
I'm tired of writing sad songs
But that's all that I have left
'Cause it's the things that I reflect on
That make me who I am
It happened again
Restless in my sleep
You woke me from a dream
To say I'm not like my old man
And maybe that's what I'm so cared of
That I'll be no different
I'll bring someone in to this life
And leave a scar they won't forget
I ran my thumb over the faces in
My old class photo
We were so innocent back then
If only I had known
All those smiles staring back at me
Where the fuck did they all go?
What I would do for a clear conscience again
To swallow the lump that's in my throat
And the first time we drove past
Penfold State Forest
I felt the weight of another life
Leave my back finally
The scar they won’t forget
