ONLY WAY TO YOUR FUTURE IS THROUGH YOUR PAST

I LOOK OUT UPON THE LAKE,

 PONDERING MY REGRETS THAT TURNED TO MISTAKES

THINGS I'VE DONE HAUNT ME EVERYDAY,

 IT’S A PART OF ME I CAN NEVER ESCAPE

KEEPS ME FROM MY DIGNITY OF A MAN,

 MY REGRETS YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND

UNTIL I CAN GET PAST THIS PART OF MY LIFE BEHIND ME

 I CAN NEVER BE TOTALLY FREE

THE THINGS I'VE DONE THE ONES I HURT,

 BRINGING BACK THE FEELINGS, BRINGING BACK THE DIRT

ONLY WAY BACK IS THROUGH THE MENDING OF TWELVE STEPS

IF NOT THEN MY LIFE WILL BE DIGGING DEEPER DEPTHS

CAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO YOUR FUTURE IS THROUGH YOUR PAST

NOW YOU'VE CONFRONTED THE PAIN, NOW YOU’RE FREE AT LAST
