[Verse 1] In the waning days ahead I gotta look back down the road I know that its not too late All the stupid things Ive said The people Ive hurt and let down But I hope its not my fate [Chorus] To keep defeating my own self And keep repeating yesterday I cant keep defeating myself I cant keep repeating The mistakes of my youth [Verse 2] In the dark of night, I might Be able to make myself think That Im still a younger man But when the light of day shines down Theres no way to get around it Im not the younger man [Chorus] I keep defeating my own self And keep repeating yesterday I cant keep defeating myself I cant keep repeating The mistakes of my youth [Verse 3] The choice is mine for making A better road ahead The road that Ive been taking Headed for a deadend But its not too late to turn around [Verse 4] In the final moments I hope that I know that I tried To do the best I could [Chorus] To stop defeating my own self And stop repeating yesterday I cant keep defeating myself I cant keep repeating The mistakes of my youth
