Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me

Why couldn’t I be
A fish under the sea
Anything but me

Why couldn’t I be that pestering Rat
That runs in fear daily chased by a cat

Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me

Why couldn’t I be in the blue skies
Like that blue Jay with wings that can fly

Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me

Why couldn’t I be so beautiful Like I see
Of the imagine in the mirror looking back at me

Anything other than me.

I cannot change it
I cannot change the past
Reliving memories keeps me up at night
It's hard enough as it is
Rewriting them only adds to the pain
So many things I said and did
And so many I didn't say or do
But why
Why after all this time
Can I not stick it in my head
That I cannot change the past
And why
Why can't I believe myself
When I say that
I can only change the future

I did make
They are mine
I did break
All every time
My mistakes were mine to make
'For heaven sake.
