The Old You

Caught in a lonely life, walking at your own pace

With a cold mind and a stubborn heart, said you didn’t need grace

Thought your life and your path was set in it's place

You had no time or room for answers, you just knew you detested change

But now you’re re-thinking

You say you want a new beginning, you say you want a new start

You want those old memories, and the old you erased from your heart

But it’s kinda hard to forget who you are

You want a new beginning, but now how does one start?

Turn off the voice that says, you could be better if you tried

Like putting on a better show could earn God's favor, its wasted time

Yet you are striving, searching, straining, hardly breathing

Exhausted from trying to keep up that image, people pleasing
