lyrics

I can sit and detail all the many ways I've failed
Bad choices made and chances missed and ships that long since sailed.
On other days I might indulge in piteous self flagellation
But today I'm singing a different tune in the key of congratulations

I'll leave the past
Turn around
Point my eyes forward bound
Don't have no bags
To weigh me down
I'll leave the past and turn around

The times were few in days before where I could see things as they are
I'd sit and stew in a childish way instead of reaching for the stars
But now I pluck em from the sky ain't nothing gonna hold me back
Let the world cower before my power
I’m separating from the pack

I'll leave the past
Turn around
Point my eyes forward bound
Don't have no bags
To weigh me down
I'll leave the past and turn around

So if you’re wasting time obsessed with all that you done wrong
Just take a moment to clear your head And think about this song
Cause dwelling on your past mistakes won’t change a single fact
Take my advice, you can’t live it twice and now’s the time to act

So leave the past
Turn around
Point your eyes forward bound
Don't have no bags
To weigh you down
Leave the past and turn around
