Retrospect Lyrics

She doesn't know what's going on right now

And in her mind, she thinks I'm someone else

And when I text her back, I don't know what she knows

She just judges, like I'm used to blows

I'm trying to just get it right

I gotta hold onto my light

I walk down the halls, I can hear my name

I look at myself and I'm not the same

'Cause in retrospect, I'm stronger than I was

I walk down the halls, I still see that flame

They said I couldn't, I did anyway

'Cause in retrospect, I had it all along

She doesn't see what's behind closed doors

And she can't tell how I'm trying so hard

And when she takes a shot, she takes a piece of me

'Cause I'm just pushing, and she can't see beneath

I'm trying to just get it right

I gotta hold onto my light

I walk down the halls, I can hear my name

I look at myself and I'm not the same

'Cause in retrospect, I'm stronger than I was (I knew I could)

I walk down the halls, I still see that flame

They said I couldn't, I did anyway

'Cause in retrospect, I had it all along

I've carved my path

Tried to leave my mark

In my life

I hope I'll go far

When the comments

And buzz get too loud

I have people

Who love me now

I walk down the halls, I can hear my name

I look at myself and I'm not the same

'Cause in retrospect, I'm stronger than I was (I knew I could)

I walk down the halls, I still see that flame

They said I couldn't, I did anyway

'Cause in retrospect, I had it all along
