Spent so much of this life Letting my heart lead me astray Following girls that never really wanted me. That's okay It's alright I spent too many nights Questioning my self-worth I spent too many nights Despising the way I look, I talk I ripped myself from the inside out And there's nothing anybody could Say to me now, That I haven't said to myself. Wasted a decade Putting myself down Put a stop to that now I'm lighting up Starting to see the beauty Beneath these scars Strong mind, Strengthened heart Courage comes from the depths of my soul Not gonna end up trapped in another hole I got all my cards and I won't fold Twenty eighteen Is the year I turned this life around Dropped the baggage Weighing me down Now I'm floating towards the stars Light as a feather All those storms I've weathered Nothing but past memories Trapped in the back of my head Where they can fade and be erased To make way for new images that fill my eyes And be captured in this brand new state of mind This is a new sunrise Yeah this is a new dawn A new decade To take back control Of this runaway train Not a train wreck, just yet Now that I'm back behind the wheel Starting to get a grip Get back that natural feel The way I used to be I'm still a fighter Now that I'm out of the trenches Got all these pains on the back foot I can breathe, just look Wasted a decade Putting myself down Put a stop to that now I'm lighting up Starting to see the beauty Beneath these scars Strong mind, Strengthened heart Courage comes from the depths of my soul Not gonna end up trapped in another hole I got all my cards and I won't fold Twenty eighteen Is the year I turned this life around Dropped the baggage Weighing me down Now I'm floating towards the stars Light as a feather All those storms I've weathered Nothing but past memories Trapped in the back of my head Where they can fade and be erased To make way for new images that fill my eyes And be captured in this brand new state of mind Stains covered my face At the end All these blood-stained sheets That was used in the cleansing Of my skin Now I'm feeling free Felt good letting go of the heavy load Been carrying all these regrets and thoughts For far too long Never felt better to say, So long, So long The relief you feel when it's all gone Wasted a decade Putting myself down Put a stop to that now I'm lighting up Starting to see the beauty Beneath these scars Strong mind, Strengthened heart Courage comes from the depths of my soul Not gonna end up trapped in another hole I got all my cards and I won't fold Twenty eighteen Is the year I turned this life around Dropped the baggage Weighing me down Now I'm floating towards the stars Light as a feather All those storms I've weathered Nothing but past memories Trapped in the back of my head Where they can fade and be erased To make way for new images that fill my eyes And be captured in this brand new state of mind ©2018 Written By Benji James

While I sit here and reflect I remember the good times, The unforgettable experience that was being with you, I realise I don't regret any of it. I loved you and I'm not afraid to admit it. But things change and time heals. Now I appreciate the time we spent But look forward to moving on, To make new memories with someone else. Someone who will love me like you did. It wasn't meant to be but the memories I have I will treasure forever. My first love.
