All That Lasts

All this waiting comes back to me
 And I know it seems so hard to believe
 I gave all my reasons
 Gave all my pain
 Excuses evolve into shame
 I'll take it day by day
 It's better than they say
 My conscience, it leans toward defeat
 I'll hold onto my pride
 Take one step at a time
 My conscience, it blames all on me
 Understand, the bad days are over
 We're free at last to learn from our past
 All it means is the bad days are over
 And all that lasts can't take from your past
 Living life with insecurities
 It just makes it harder to see
 So raise your voice and sing along with me
 I know this is how you want to be
 I'll take it day by day
 It's better than they say
 My conscience, it leans toward defeat
 I'll hold onto my pride
 Take one step at a time
 My conscience, it blames all on me
 Understand, the bad days are over
 We're free at last to learn from our past
 All it means is the bad days are over
 And all that lasts can't take from your past
 This is the lesson I have learned
 When my intuition called out to me
 This is the lesson I can teach
 But you don't listen, no
 Talk to me
 Understand, the bad days are over
 We're free at last to learn from our past
 All it means is the bad days are over
 And all that lasts can't take from your past
