I Can't Change What Was

V6

We had a world that felt like ours, A love I thought would never fade. You were the one I turned to first, The safest place my heart had made. Then slowly you grew distant, And the truth tore us apart. Betrayal turned to endless fights, And goodbye broke my heart. I can't change what was, Can't undo what we've become. Can't go back and save the pieces, Can't unsee what you have done. I can blame myself forever, Ask what more I could have done. But no answer changes yesterday, And the past cannot be undone. Sometimes I still revisit Every moment, every sign. Wonder if a different choice Could have changed your heart or mine. But I'm tired of living backwards, Of chasing what is gone. There's a life here in the present, And I must carry on. Maybe love was real, But it wasn't meant to last. I can't build a future By forever holding on to the past. I don't need to hate you. I don't need to understand. I can leave those questions there And take my life back in my hands. I can't change what was, But I know what I must do. I won't let the ghosts of yesterday Steal the life I have that's true. I can cherish what was beautiful, Accept that it is gone. There's a heart beside me now, And a love I'm building on. I can't change what was, But I can choose where I go from here. I don't need another answer. I don't need to know it all. The past can keep its questions. I won't look back anymore.
