Legacy

 

Sometimes I feel

like I’ve dived head first right in

into my pit of bad decisions, 

all of my unhappy endings standing by,

waiting single file in line 

to take a swing at my composure. 

Guess karma always gets her closure. 

But if I can leave the world a bit better than I have been,

then at least I’ll know that it was all worth it in the end.

 

I’m not trying to leave a legacy of gold plated streets, 

I just want to be the best of me in your memory 

when I leave this world behind. 

I want to be who you thought I was 

all this time.

Can we forget?

Can we wash away our sins?

I’m not religious in the slightest 

but wouldn’t it be nice if I could 

say, "I’m sorry", and it's all let go; 

open my eyes and I get to start all over. 

I can’t take back the things that I’ve done

but I want to be someone you’re proud of. 

I’m not trying to leave a legacy of gold plated streets 

I just want to be the best of me in your memory 

when I leave this world behind.

I want to be who you thought I was 

all this time.

Just want to be who you thought I was all this time.
