Sometimes It's Not How Much You Know , More Or Less What You Let Go
You can't build your future off of your past
Because that's a structure that will never last
It's like running full speed forward while looking back
Tell me how far do you think you'll get like that
How can you ever have a piece of mind
When your mind is always focused on what's behind
Leaves you walking thru life on a very thin line
And it keeps you trapped somewhere back in time
It's easy to move yourself forward and gain respect
But yet the mirror cast an image that's easy to detect
Cause your mind on the past thinking it'll happen next
Which leaves you bother and so complex
One lesson I've found , that took me so long to find true
You can only move forward by putting the past behind you.
It may leave you heartfelt and maybe a little blue
But you got to accept it or let it go and do what you do
