Hindsight

Unshaken from the undertow
Madness and pain is all you know
It builds and always seems to grow
But you can't take it

The torture within you won't die
The anguish never will subside
You act fine, but you cannot hide
Nor can you fake it

Don't waste your time on what would be
If your past had gone differently
It used to be the same with me
But I accept it
Forget the mistakes that you made
Those bad decisions of past days
Cause they are done and there to stay
And you can't change it

It's not worth the pain it will cause
If each time you go on, you pause
And ponder what made it go wrong
Learn to deal with it

I know its tough to understand,
That no matter how hard that you plan
Everything that will, and somehow can
Will go wrong with it

Don't waste your time on what would be
If your past had gone differently
It used to be the same with me
But I accept it
Forget the mistakes that you made
Those bad decisions of past days
Cause they are done and there to stay
And you can't change it

All is wrong and nothing's changed
Just realize it stays the same
No matter what you must refrain
From putting all this on your brain
There's nothing you can do for it
Just try to use better judgment
When future times do call for it
Or else suffer the worst of it

I think that you should know by now
Your fun and games catch up somehow
And when they do you can't allow
Them to take over

What's done is done and you regret
But worry about what has not yet
Transpired and then you just might get
Your life to control over

Don't waste your time on what would be
If your past had gone differently
It used to be the same with me
But I accept it
Forget the mistakes that you made
Those bad decisions of past days
Cause they are done and there to stay
And you can't change it

You can't change it now
