I was all but a child
when huge decisions were mine to make
I had to grow up way too fast
and make minimal mistakes
Mistakes who defined me as an adult
Mistakes who will haunt me forever
Mistakes that I always swear I will never make again
How I wish I was a little more clever
But I have to preserve what good is left
of what makes me the person I am now
even if it's no more than a bit of string
I have to tie the bow somehow
