I should have lived a different life,

Better memories and fond keepsakes.

I should have slowed down, Took a bit more time,

I could have listened to the important things, made a few less mistakes.

I could’ve been happy from the get go,

Only thing that held me back were stubborn decisions and the riveting of my mind.

I should have lived a different life, Instead of going for broke and to the fullest I would live,

I made it so easy to take beating after beating and it became so easy to dispose the good hearts that came my way.

If I would have lived a different life,

I would have stayed true to my intuition and my choices all the same.

I could have spent a little less effort learning how easy it was for people to be used,

Sorry but somehow I must have been misguided, I believed people were just meant to come and go.

If this were another life relived and the slate was wiped clean,

I would think twice before I jump into the deep end, Think properly before I took the next move.

I wouldn’t let myself be so easy beaten by the distractions,

I would look this life right into its existence, Confident and totally in control.

If I were living a different life,

Unthoughtful gestures at the expense of others would play a lesser role.

Unforgiving and so easily misguided by bullshit extravagances,

If this were a different life and my second chance I would learn to let this garbage go.
