All this waiting comes back to me

And I know it seems so hard to believe

I gave all my reasons

Gave all my pain

Excuses evolve into shame

I'll take it day by day

It's better than they say

My conscience, it leans toward defeat

I'll hold onto my pride

Take one step at a time

My conscience, it blames all on me



Understand, the bad days are over

We're free at last to learn from our past

All it means is the bad days are over

And all that lasts can't take from your past



Living life with insecurities

It just makes it harder to see

So raise your voice and sing along with me

I know this is how you want to be

I'll take it day by day

It's better than they say

My conscience, it leans toward defeat

I'll hold onto my pride

Take one step at a time

My conscience, it blames all on me



Understand, the bad days are over

We're free at last to learn from our past

All it means is the bad days are over

And all that lasts can't take from your past



This is the lesson I have learned

When my intuition called out to me

This is the lesson I can teach

But you don't listen, no

Talk to me



Understand, the bad days are over

We're free at last to learn from our past

All it means is the bad days are over

And all that lasts can't take from your past
