lyrics

Though past mistakes are dead and gone
Everyone is moving on
I feel a weight holding me down

Free as a bird trapped in a cage
The door's unlocked, I could escape
Freedom's smile turns to a frown

But somehow I'm afraid of where I've been
You know the trap I'm in
Somehow I need to break free
From this forgiven sin

I can't go back to who I was
I fear I'll break and tear
I can't go back, he's six feet under
So, here's my plan, I'll leave him there

Though, in the grave he somehow raised
To take my joy and give me pain
He told me he'll steer for a while

And like a fool I gave him the reigns
And all my work was done in vain
To keep my past deep underground

Now I'm done crying I need to pick myself up
And shake off the dust
I'm done lying, I know where I have been
And I can't go back again

I can't go back to who I was
I fear I'll break and tear
I can't go back, he's six feet under
So, here's my plan, I'll leave him there

I can't go back, he's six feet under
So here's my plan, I'll leave him there
