The Other Side of My Life

We don’t start out who we become

And I couldn’t get where you were coming from

I had a knack for not knowing what I didn’t know

You had a knack for letting me go

The seasons change, and the edges smooth

I often wonder about you

I had a knack for not knowing how I feel

And you had a knack for knowing this wasn’t real

Cursed the devil, cursed at you, cursed the things I didn’t do

Hit the bottle, kicked the wind, changed the story so I win

But blind spots show in time, and I know you had it right

When I look back from the other side of my life

Now, I’m a stranger, but I’m the same

Broken pieces just rearranged

But I’ve been learning a thing or two

And I hope that life’s been good to you

Cursed the devil, cursed at you, cursed the things I didn’t do

Hit the bottle, kicked the wind, changed the story so I win

But blind spots show in time, and I know you had it right

When I look back from the other side of my life

Cursed the devil, cursed at you, cursed the things I didn’t do

Hit the bottle, kicked the wind, changed the story so I win

But blind spots show in time, and I know you had it right

And I can see it now with time,

When I look back from the other side of my life
