about
People see your past and they judge you for it, but how can something that made you who you are be a mistake?
lyrics
Sure, I've made some mistakes-
but we all have made some in our time.
Oh, I may not be able to change
the past but i've only got the present on my mind.
Ain't it a shame, lose focus and blame.
Oh, rather than pave your own name
we focus on the things we cannot change.
Chorus:
Why change my time?
Why say I'm unworthy?
When it's not a mistake-
Because It made me.
It made me x4
Verse:
Looking at the past me so they're looking past me
Everyone around me's reading 'bout my story
And they all think that they need to ground me
And tell me what's written down when they don't know me.
Baby, look closely: Am I floundering?
Even when I'm sinking, I sink my teeth in,
And I can only go up from here.
Chorus:
Why change my time?
Why say I'm unworthy?
When it's not a mistake-
Because It made me.
Guitar solo
Verse:
The past is behind me right where it should be
Straight-talk ain't happening if you're looking down on me.
And you're all acting like some shit
That I slipped up on's gonna drag me down with it.
Baby, look closely: Am I floundering?
Even when I'm sinking, I sink my teeth in,
And I can only go up from here.
Chorus: (x2)
Why change my time?
Why say I'm unworthy?
When it's not a mistake-
Because it made me.
