At Least I’ll Know I Tried

Inspiration (and a swift kick in the pants) from my afternoon walk, compliments of Pandora.

Crash and Burn

All these nights are catching up to me
I just can’t put insomnia to sleep
I close my eyes but all that I can see
Is someone who I’m never gonna be

I hope that you can bring me back
I gotta make it right

And if I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried
And as I crawl there’s lessons learned
Yeah, they remind me I survived

Silence just keeps screaming back at me
The ones I love are lost in memories
And I wish that I could take back what was done
You can only change the person you become

I have to try and find a way
To leave it all behind
And if I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried
And as I crawl there’s lessons learned
Yeah, they remind me I survived
And I’ve been hurt, and I’ve been scarred
At least I know that I’m alive
And If I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried

All of the things I tried say
All of the words just got in the way
I’m waiting here, I need your help
Don’t leave me down here all by my self

And if I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried
And as I crawl there’s lessons learned
Yeah, they remind me I survived
And I’ve been hurt, and I’ve been scarred
At least I know that I’m alive
And If I fall and crash and burn
At least we both know that I tried

I was reading last night before bed about living so as to not have any regrets.  I call it “regret-management” when I talk about it with clients.  It is becoming an integral part of my life.
 
 
 
The reality is that I may crash and burn at this writing thing.  But I can only change the person I become.
 
 
 
I choose to try.  I choose to make it right.  I choose to leave it all behind.
 
 
 
At least we’ll both know that I tried.
