Self Destruction

After a life of self destruction
My soul's under construction
Can't undo the things from the past
I have lived so fast
Didn't care
Didn't dare
Till life became to much 
Fell out of touch
Lost my way
Living just for the day
Time got away
Trying to slow down
Get rid of this frown
Learn to live again
Don't live in back when
Step past the pain
Beyond the rain
Start life anew .
Step past this life I blew
Go on with a smile
Cause it's been awhile
Stepping back into the light
Starting a new fight
One that's right
