Long gone past

Word spoken of a long gone past

Of a life I knew would never last

Memories I left behind me

I'm no longer who I used to be

As I confide it all in you

You condemn me, even though

You should know that's no longer me

Oh, why couldn't you just let it be

My former self isn't who I became

So why judge, as if it's the same?

It fills my heart with remorse

Opening up made everything worse

I cannot undo the mistakes I made

But I can tell you that I am ashamed

I regret many of the things I did

I hope it's something you can forgive

I'm sorry for my long gone past
