my mind

There's an old photo of me On my phone I look and she Feels like home and I feel peace Her eyes always knew What I lost in the blue I'd be back to find eventually Took my time to figure out What this life is all about I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool Tried to blame my stuff on you I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind And I wondered how I lost my mind Oh my mind At a dinner out with dad Fielding questions that he had Instead of listening I got mad But he always knew Answers don't reveal the truth Made me seek to understand Took my time to figure out What this life is all about I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool Tried to blame my stuff on you I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind And I wondered how I lost my mind Oh my mind The more I thought my way through The more I ended up confused Oh when you've lost your mind It can't help you find the truth My brother graduates today There's a lot I want to say To a kid with the world on his plate I wish he only knew Comes to choices, you got two Chase your soul or stay the same Took my time to figure out What this life is all about I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool Tried to blame my stuff on you I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind And I wondered how I lost my mind Oh my mind
