I know how it is now it takes A lifetime of making mistakes And though it took from then to now To earn what I learned this is how It is now I know how it takes A lifetime of making mistakes Let not love remain unspoken Hearts break but can be unbroken When the only way to do it Is the lonely way now through it Forgiving then living again Is how to get to now from then Forgive then when you can forget What you remember as regret Forgive yourself too even though Not your fault even so let go Nor remember to regret it Then and when you can: forget it I know how it is now it takes A lifetime of making mistakes +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIII
