Dirty Windows
Dirty Windows
I remember so much from back then,
Goals and ambitions, keen on the scent,
The prize just out of reach and then,
Confidence fails, that’s just how it went.
Too many times I let things pass,
So many things I let happen, I let them go
Regrets are windows filled with dirty glass
There was no way I could ever know.
I wish I would have been myself then,
I wish I had been me.
If I had been who I am,
Well then, we would see.
If I could have been more of this, less of that,
If I could have spent more of my time,
“If” and “or” are things I could pick at,
“If” is a word I did not rhyme…
I wish I would have been myself then,
I wish I had been me.
If I had been who I am,
Well then, we would see.
Too many times we let things pass,
So many things we let happen, we let them go
Regrets are windows filled with dirty glass
There was no way we could ever know.
I wish I would have been myself then,
I wish I had been me.
If I had been who I am,
Well then, we would see.
