The Things You Couldn't Do

It's what I'm waiting for that matters

Not the things I have right now

Some say your dreams will make you higher

But mine, they keep me on the ground

You see, my fears are all I have

They're all that's keeping me alive

The fear of being like my dad

And never living a full life

And let it waste away

When there's so much left to say

If you don't like your ways

Well, then you have to make a change

And after all that I've done

And all that I have been through

I have changed my ways

I've done the things you could not do

I've done them on my own

And I will fight to make it through

They said it wouldn't happen, it couldn't happen

Now I've got a lot to prove

They say a memory lasts forever

Sometimes I wish that this weren't true

I can't forget how much you matter

Or how much I'm part of you

My love will never let you go

But we are nothing more alike

And I just want to let you know

I'll make much more of my one life

And let it waste away

When there's so much left to say

If you don't like your ways

Well, then you have to make a change

And after all that I've done

And all that I have been through

I have changed my ways

I've done the things you could not do

I've done them on my own

And I will fight to make it through

They said it wouldn't happen, it couldn't happen

Now I've got a lot to prove

And after all that I've done

And all that I have been through

I have changed my ways

I've done the things you could not do

I've done them on my own

And I will fight to make it through

They said it wouldn't happen, it couldn't happen

Now I've got a lot to prove
