Verse I hear my past calling out to me. But I’m not turning around to see. I’m not letting past mistakes define me. Pre Chorus I’ve made every mistake I can make. The past is behind me like the wake of a vessel at sea. Chorus Today is a brand new day. I’m only looking ahead and not behind. It doesn’t matter what they say. I’m not changing my mind. Verse I don’t carry my mistakes around any more. I had to show them the door. I want to be a better man than before. Pre Chorus Thanks for looking the other way when you should not have. Thanks for sticking around. Thanks for picking me up off the ground. Chorus Today is a brand new day. I’m only looking ahead and not behind. It doesn’t matter what they say. I’m not changing my mind. Bridge I’m not a perfect man but I try my best. So before you say something in jest. Just know, I’m only trying to pass my own test. I refuse to do anything on anyone else’s behest. Verse Life is flying by me. There is only time to laugh and not cry. And I’m not going ask why. This is a do or die. Pre Chorus I can’t move ahead by looking behind. You can’t change me. My rear view mirror is flipped up and away from history. Chorus Today is a brand new day. I’m only looking ahead and not behind. It doesn’t matter what they say. I’m not changing my mind.
