Protected Left - Old Life Lyrics

I was so goddamn sure
I wasn't alone
My future was certain, chiseled in stone.

My anchor against the sea
And the unknown
A center, a purpose, a place to call home

I wish I had my old life back
I wish I had my old life back
Before I moved on, before I ceased contact
I wish I had my old life back

Back onto solid ground
Where I could stand
Stand to forgive not just abandon

Now it's just empty space
And no control
A hollow, a crater, a gaping black hole

I wish I had my old life back
I wish I had my old life back
Before I moved on, before I ceased contact
I wish I had my old life back

Back when I
Thought I knew where I should be
But never stopped
To examine that belief
Maybe life
Is always better in the past
It doesn't last
It doesn't last!
