about

The singer bargains with his God, begging Him to change events in time caused by the singer’s own mistakes from the past. The singer prays to God that he would see what he mistook in the past.
(Stage of Grief #3: Bargaining)

lyrics

I was looking at my bedroom wall,
Wondering where I was,
When you said it all

When you stopped seein me,
You told me I wasn’t right
I wondered where I was
When you hurt that night

Oh the pain that I caused
I didn’t mean to inflict
Oh the wounds that I made
They Seemed to me, to contradict,
All I said...

To You that day,
When I couldn’t see
The actuality
Of what was meant to be

Before you left,
From my life,
Oh I had a chance to
Alter time

I was lookin at my face in the mirror,
When it was then,
My life became so much clearer

All these wounds that I made,
They seemed to speak to me.
They said "What are you,
Is this what was meant to be?"

And I stopped lookin back,
Finding peace in my past,
For a change

With this new view ahead,
I have to face things I dread,
But it will save,
The gift of life

For me every day
When I cant see
The actuality
Of what is meant to be

Before I left
All these scars
My body begged
To take me to the stars

But it wasn't you
Who made me feel
That what was all around
Simply wasn't real

I prayed to my God
That when I looked
I would see
What I mistook
