Realization dawns like a new era
You had your chance and you blew it
Now you get to regret it
And I assure you, you will miss this

Things are changing, time moves forward
I'm done pretending, I'm moving on
Moving on with my life, to greater things
Stepping forward, one foot at a time

I know it will be tough but I'll manage
It won't be easy, that is certain
I'll pull myself out of this hole
Dust myself off and continue on

It's time to live my life and forget
Forget the past because it's over and done with
I'm moving on and I don't regret anything
Realization has dawned on my new era
