take it from me

every old worn out today is the same as an armful of brand new yesterdays quit trying to replace the future with things from the past 
 it aint gonna work and it won’t stand the test of time that’s not how life’s supposed to be you’ll find out soon enough take it from me 
 all your childlike tantrums fall flat when you aren’t a child but act that way quit trying to bring back what has already passed 
 it didn’t work before and you’re stupid to even try that’s not how you’re supposed to be you’ll find out soon enough take it from me 
 slow down and take a look back at where you’ve been should retrace your steps or not which direction do they go where do they lead 
 just remember… not every step forward is a step up and not all steps back are only down try to learn from your mistakes and cherish each victory each new day has a keyhole and each has a key 
 knowing which to use and when is the difference between standing still falling back or moving ahead from where you’ve been
