Verse 1 I still think about those old days Every now and then I do Not because I'm wanting yesterday... Or trying to hold on to you I just wonder how two good hearts Can lose what they believed Funny how forever changes One choice at a time, it seems Pre-Chorus I spent years chasing answers That never came to me Turns out I was searching For someone I was meant to be Chorus Don't get me wrong... I don't want you back That road's too far behind I quit trying to change the past And started changing my life I thought I had to find myself Somewhere down the road Turns out the man I'm proud to be... Was built by what I chose Verse 2 Friends all said, "Just let it go..." Like healing had a date They couldn't hear the quiet work Happening beneath the weight Every scar became a teacher Every tear became a guide I stopped asking who I used to be... And asked who I'd be tonight Pre-Chorus Some roads we choose for ourselves Some find us anyway Character isn't where you start... It's who you are when life changes Chorus Don't get me wrong... I don't want you back That chapter's finally closed I'm grateful for the man I was... And the one I've come to know I thought I had to lose myself To finally become free Turns out I was becoming... The man I was meant to be Bridge The darkness didn't write my story It only showed me what was true I couldn't choose what happened then... But I could choose what I'd do That's the road that changed my life... Not the one I never planned The one where I kept walking... When I barely thought I could stand Final Chorus Don't get me wrong... I don't want yesterday I wouldn't trade today 'Cause every mile and every scar Helped show me the way The old me never disappeared He carried me until I could see... The strongest part of who I am... Was always inside of me.
