I wish that I could change the past
So that I could have made the old me last.
So that I could make you smile everyday
And make you happy in every way.
My mistakes are the reason that you now need more
Because I changed, and am no longer the one you adore.
I feel such guilt for the mistakes that I've made
And for the suffering I still cause you when I give in to the blade.
There are so many cruelties that I must answer for
And what you once felt, I can never restore.
Life as it once was will never be the same
Too many wounds I have given you, and my soul is stained with shame.
All that I can do now is find the strength to set you free
It's all that I can give to you at this point, a life without me.
I don't want to be the chain that's dragging you down
And I don't want your fear of my death to be all that keeps you around.
I will run so far away and forever stay out of your sight
I'll scream and cry and let madness take hold of me, but make it through each night.
I'll suffer every second of every day, but I know it will be worthwhile
Because without me to hold you down, you can live each day with a smile.

There are lots of time I feel like this and wish to change the past too. However, had I not made mistakes, I wouldn't have known I had done so and take away experience from it. It is likely intolerable to live with our old faults, but I guess we all can somehow make it up to them someday.
