Life's Too Short

Life's too short To live in the past It's too short You never know how long it'll last One day you're small Holding your father's hand You're sure no one will let you fall You're lost in your own dreamland You grow up faster and faster You start to see and realize You grow bolder and stronger You start to see judgement in people's eyes You don't want help anymore You're sure you know what you're doing You close the door On all advice, you start to wonder where you're going As facts hit you in the face It's almost hard to breathe You're trying to keep up with the pace But all the hardships bury you underneath You start to miss what you had When you had someone who cared You start to feel sad You start to feel empty of the love they shared But someone comes out and says You're stuck in the past You're living in the haze Time is running out, you better move fast It's then that you're sure That life's not forever You open the door You're never shutting it again, never You walk out into the future All the possibilities there are You smile at life You know you're not going to wast another hour So before you go You make a lasting impression On the world and let your talent show Finally you're satisfied and embrace the end With no hesitation because you reached your destination Life's too short To live in the past It's too short You never know how long it'll last.
