That Vision’s Gonna Cost Me My Past

---------------------------- Lyrics by : Kathlene Rushing © 2025 Kathlene Rushing All rights reserved. ---------------------------- [Verse 1] I stood at the edge of everything I knew The voices behind me still pulling me through But dreams don’t bloom where the old roots stay And I can’t keep love in a house of decay [Verse 2] I folded the letters I never sent The silence spoke louder than what I meant Held on to hurt like a well-worn coat But you can’t sail forward with an anchor on your throat [Chorus] That vision’s gonna cost me my past But I’m ready for a love that lasts I had to bury my yesterday to call tomorrow home Let go of the ghost I’ve always known No, I won’t turn back, I’m not made of glass That vision’s gonna cost me my past [Verse 3] I used to think pain was part of the deal But I’m learning now what it means to heal Not every goodbye is a closing door Sometimes it’s the start of needing more [Chorus] That vision’s gonna cost me my past But I’m ready for a love that lasts I had to bury my yesterday to call tomorrow home Let go of the ghost I’ve always known No, I won’t turn back, I’m not made of glass That vision’s gonna cost me my past [Bridge] It’s lonely, this light that I chose But growth is a bloom no one knows I’m walking in faith, one breath at a time Leaving behind what was never mine [Final Chorus] That vision’s gonna cost me my past But I’m holding a dream built to last I had to bury my yesterday to call tomorrow home I’m not the same, and I’m not alone With every tear that I let go fast That vision’s gonna cost me my past
