Don't Miss Your Life Waiting for Payback

You remember every word they said, Every crooked deal, every bridge they burned. You lie awake rehearsing what you'd say, Still waiting for their tables to turn. You picture the day they finally fall, When the truth comes out and they lose it all. But here's the joke that took me years to see While I watched their lives, mine was passing by me. Yeah, it hurt like crazy, and it wasn't right, But how much of your life will you give that fight? Don't miss your life waiting for payback, Don't let yesterday keep holding you back. You can stand your ground, you can call out wrong, But you can't get your lost years back once they're gone. Let the world turn, let the chips fall where they may, There's a whole lot of living happening today. Don't let a bitter heart keep you on that track Don't miss your life waiting for payback Some folks wait for karma at the door, Some want heaven to settle the score. Maybe justice comes, maybe it comes too late, Maybe life won't serve the ending that you wait. But if your peace depends on watching them pay, They're still taking something from you every day. You can draw the line, you can walk away, You don't have to let that hurt decide your days. Don't miss your life waiting for payback, Don't let yesterday keep holding you back. You can stand your ground, you can call out wrong, But you can't get your lost years back once they're gone. Let the world turn, let the chips fall where they may, There's a whole lot of living happening today. Don't miss your life waiting for payback There's a sunrise waiting down the road, Good friends to call, places left to go. A song to sing, a hand to hold, A thousand little joys worth more than gold. You don't have to say that wrong was right, Just don't build your home in the hurt they made You deserve to live beyond the mess they made. Let the truth come out, let justice have its day, But don't give your whole short life away. There's a whole wide world outside that courtroom door Don't miss your life waiting for payback, There's too much good in this world to turn your back. Stand for what's right, let the truth see the light, Let the world turn, let the chips fall where they may, There's a whole lot of living happening today. Take your life, take your freedom back Don't miss your life waiting for payback
