[Verse 1]

Yeah

I got a lot of baggage tryna figure it out

I wonder what the future me would think of me now

So would he be disappointed then or would he be proud?

Would he know he did the right thing or would he be down?

I guess I'll know when I get there, sit in my deck chair

Reminiscing bout the shit I did when I clowned

And my mum told me I should just forgive myself

Cos if I don't never feel the love I give myself

I think back to all the things I've done, all the things I've said

All the things I've wrote and all the things I've read

The time that I was spending up in some girls bed

Knowing I am not calling when I see her text

And I ain't proud of it, but I'm out of it

My next girl is getting loved to death

And if I ever put you through the shit I faced

Then I'm sorry I'm no longer who I was back then and that's real


[Chorus]

I have made mistakes and you have too

I don't care cos that was the old you

See you can toss him into the ashes

And leave him to rest in peace with the old me


[Verse 2]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I wonder will it all change now I'm growing up

I made a lot of mistakes I made too many bad choices

But shit gets crazy when you seek that buzz but I've grown

Wonder if they notice I wonder if they see me any different now I'm not involved

With the same old people who had me broken but I'm focused now

I just keep it rolling but

Back on reflection

I wasn't in a space back then to be learning lessons

But now days, I just smile on

Even when it's hard I can count my blessings, yeah

In five years time I'll be living my life

With my old regrets all sidelined you see

With myself I made a deal

I'm gonna work through my shit until I love myself and that's real


[Chorus]

I have made mistakes and you have too

I don't care cos that was the old you

See you can toss him into the ashes

And leave him to rest in peace with the old me


[Bridge]

And you can leave him to rest in peace with the old me


[Chorus]

I have made mistakes and you have too

I don't care cos that was the old you

See you can toss him into the ashes

And leave him to rest in peace with the old me
