A Chance for You to Prove

Watching, watching my friends make
All the things I've done
You make the same mistakes
How they make things change
Thought I wouldn't make
That you watched me make
Regret, I hope I won't feel
Can't remove this pain
The same things I do

Learning from their mistakes
Things the hardest way
Things taught too late
Wisdom, I learn from watching
That I've gained too late
Gained from someone else
Feeling for the strength to make
Smarter by the day
That I recognize

Decisions that would seem smarter
That I failed to make
That I once had faced
Integrity is what I strive for
That I can't obtain
Part of saving face if you could
See how though time I've wasted on

I'll give you everything in time
I will, hold myself down
I will I've wasted on a
Chance for you to prove
Watching mistakes, regret, learning
Wisdom, feeling, decisions, integrity
Every time I feel I'm bigger
Realize I am the same

And you're knowing what I'm feeling
But I think I should escape
Myself and watch it all slip by
And you're knowing what I'm feeling
Situations I fall short in where
I thought that I would gain

And you're knowing what I'm feeling
But I think you should escape
Yourself and watch it all slip
By watching, mistakes, regret, learning
Wisdom, feeling, decisions, integrity
If you could see how, though time
I've wasted on, I'll give you everything
In time I will hold myself down
I will, I've wasted on a
Chance for you to prove
