[Intro]
WHAT I’VE LEFT BEHIND 
AIN'T WHAT I HAVE AHEAD OF ME

[Verse 1]
There’s a box in the closet 
Full of old regrets
Photos and letters 
And things I’d rather forget
Dust on the past
And a lock on that door
Ain’t goin’ back there 
No more

[Verse 2]
I’ve walked through the fire
I’ve danced in the rain
Made my share of mistakes
I've lived with the pain
But every mile
Every scar on my skin
Taught me how 
To begin again

[Chorus]
‘Cause what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me
That old worn-out life
Ain’t the one I’m meant to lead
There’s a sunrise waitin’ 
Past the end of this road
A new song playin’ on the radio
Yeah, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me

[Verse 3]
She said love don’t come easy 
When your heart’s been broke
But I see forever 
When she laughs at my jokes
She’s a soft place to land
A light in the dark
Helping me heal every part

[Bridge]
I could spend my time chasin’ ghosts in the wind
But I’d rather chase dreams and hold her hand again
Ain’t no rearview mirror gonna pull me back
I’m drivin’ on faith
I ain’t lookin’ back

[Chorus]
‘Cause what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me
All those nights I cried
Just made this moment sweet
There’s a heaven in her eyes when she looks at me
And a future I can finally see
Yeah, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me

[Outro]
No, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me...

WHAT I'VE LEFT BEHIND

WHAT I’VE LEFT BEHIND (AIN’T WHAT I HAVE

by-Matthew F. Blowers III


We've got to get it 
into our heads, babe 
and get it into our hearts, 
We need the kind of love 
that's found in fairy tales, 
so that we never have to part, 
Happily ever after, 
days filled with lots of 
love and laughter, 
avoiding happily never after 
before we even start. 

Chorus- 

We've both been in those 
chapters with a tragic end, 
full of empty promises 
that lovers can be friends, 
Your love's been sleeping 
for a while just like Snow White, 
Let me wake it with a kiss 
forever and a night. 

Love should bring endless delight 
to every girl and guy, 
but somewhere along the way 
so many don't get it right, 
we've got to compromise 
when we disagree, 
then we'll stay together, 
sharing our love eagerly.. 

Chorus- 

We've both been in those 
chapters with a tragic end, 
full of empty promises 
that lovers can be friends, 
Your love's been sleeping 
for a while just like Snow White, 
Let me wake it with a kiss 
forever and a night. 

You'll be my Maid Marion, 
I'll be your Robin Hood, 
I'll pilfer all that's rich from love, 
just like a true lover should, 
then we'll share the sweet bounty, 
for the rest of our days, 
but with love as sweet as yours 
who needs it anyway
