A day late and a dollar short

from Firebrand of a revolution by Black Daniel's Popcorn Makers

lyrics

Here I am, on this road where I don’t walk alone,
where I feel like I’m strong.
You brought me down; I thought I was your clown
but after some mistakes I saw it was all fake.
Now I can see I was so weak.

I used to think I couldn’t live my life without you in it,
that in this life we come in pairs but I was lying to myself
and looking for a soul mate I forgot everything else.
Thanks I got tired of the game and saw that in the end…

Out there I’ll be what I wanna be, someone of whom I feel
proud of, for the choices made, for not feeling regret.
No time to lose with burdens, with loves that move at a slow pace.
The moment’s now, tomorrow‘s always far too late,
like yesterday, it was right there but a past tense is all that’s left.

At first I felt like I was drowning in my own depression.
I was enslaved by my own freedom and I couldn’t care less.
One morning when I woke up that feeling was all gone.
No more feeling alone.

All the past mistakes were strokes of fate,
nothing was in vain. lessons will be learnt.

“A day late and a dollar short” defined me well some years ago.
I shook off the callowness following me like a pest.
I caught the tiger by the tail.
