I am the author of my life
And I'm writing in pen, and I can't rub out my mistakes
If I could start again in life, I would repeat all my mistakes
They make us who we are in this world

Making changes everyday, but it seems so empty,
I try so hard, but I am only a man
How much longer can my brow damn these beads of sweat
Before they sting my eyes?
Like time has shown me, so many times before
How much longer can my will last me throughout this lifetime?
I struggle to find who I am anymore

I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be
I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be
All I can be

I am the author of my life
And I'm writing in pen, and I can't rub out my mistakes

There are many things that aren't what they seem in this world,
Friendship is the best example of these
I find myself questioning more and more every single day
How much longer can we hold our brothers to these flames?
And the people who have meant so much to us?

I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be
I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be
