Back to You

Look, I don't wanna blame shift I don't wanna play the game that you came with I don't wanna fight flame for flame But there ain't no other way you can frame it Basically, I've been doing pretty good for a long time And I know that the road isn't painless I've been breaking out of molds, and the confines Unlike you, never stay in a stasis And you thinking that I'll play your game Is the same as you thinking that the game could break me Maybe living a lie, cuz when it's do it or die There's no place that the pain could take me That I wouldn't be grateful for, it'll make me more Either great or maybe It'll take both poles equating Change and find faith in the fate we're facing Or the goals escaping, I gotta let go Of the old me, won't be waiting You don't know it's a ghost you're chasing Broke the old ways 'cause my soul was aching Letting go, not only of a person, but the past And the act's what I had to do But some things are eternal and the fact Of the matter is the person I've become comes back to you How could I not be grateful I love who I am, I mean it I love how I grow and discover I love to expand I love who we were in the beginning And even though it's not how we planned I love how I had to heal after Look back from the place where I stand To really get the truth of it: objective facts "Who done it?" perspective matters It was really a collective task And I've forgiven us both, but don't expect it back But maybe I'm just introspective Reflecting back, but I expect a lack Of the same compassion through which I let go When I decided to forget the past So if your soul is pacing, you gotta let go 'Cause the old me won't be waiting You don't know it's a ghost you're chasing Flames of twin nature foretold of fading Letting go, not only of a person, but the past And the act's what I had to do But some things are eternal and the fact Of the matter is the person I've become comes back to you
