Forward Repeat Forward

{{Chorus}}
There once was a time
When I thought I could really make it
A time when I could prove everyone wrong
But as I look back I realize
How very wrong I was
Now as I look forward all I can see
Is shamefully scattered and lost

Nothing ever seems to go right
I really do try to try
It seems I'm destined to be dealt such
A cruel hand in this game
Of survival of the fittest

Sinking into the darkness I now accept
Because that's all I seem to know
The failure of my being
I'm really only mortal, blood and flesh
But for some reason I seem even less

There once was a time
When I thought I could really make it
A time when I could prove everyone wrong
But as I look back i realize
How very wrong I was
Now as I look forward all I can see
Is shamefully scattered and lost

Laying in my security staring out the
Window at the world going by
Wondering if it ever needed me
I question my existence more than I should
Because what's my point in going on?

I couldn't think of one reason
I couldn't think beyond my remorse
I couldn't think of much these days
My feelings wrap and re wrap me in my cold blanket 
My courage and pride fell years ago

There once was a time
When I thought I could really make it
A time when I could prove everyone wrong
But as I look back I realize
How very wrong I was
Now as I look forward all I can see
Is shamefully scattered and lost

I don't want pity
I don't want sympathy
i don't want rejection
i don't want death
I just want to be found

I push aside my curtains of despair
Throw of my shroud of self loathing
I take a new look in the mirror
I realize my being here, yes
It's the people who have always been there for me
...
It's the people who keep
Lifting me up when
I thought
I was all alone
I will try to overcome for them...for them...

There once was a time
When I though I couldn't really make it
A time when I couldn't prove myself wrong
But as I look back I realize
How very wrong I was
Now as I look forward all I can see
Is a bright, bright future
