Letter To Myself (Brownstein)
I’m writing you to tell you the things I wish I could
There are so many things I would have done if I only understood
The things that people were telling you were all in some way true
But the whole time you thought that you already knew
That time that things went wrong you thought it couldn’t get any worse
But then something else happened, you fell so hard that it hurt
Each time you get up you think it won’t happen to me again
Well maybe not to you but maybe to your friend
And you can’t go back
But you can show that
Lessons have been learned
To become the person that you have earned
Sure don’t sit around and wait take life on by the day
But things will only happen in their own way
Don’t be afraid to ask for things you want, impossible they may seem
With a little patience, a conversation, life becomes the dream
So just breath
Breath deep
There’s things in life you can’t control
I know you’ve heard this everyday of growing old
But sometimes you’ve heard that voice in your head too many times
That you start to tune it out later down the line
I’m not saying I’ve got it figured out
I needed to hear this then as much as I do now
Take the time, take care of your mind, leave the past behind
Look towards the future and beauty you will find
And you can’t go back
But you can show that
Lessons have been learned
To become the person that you have earned
