[Note: This was inspired by "Did You?" by Hoobastank and a song I heard on
the radio]

Did You?

I realize as days go by,
I haven't done everything I could,
Or anything I thought I would.
I've never lived like today could be my final day.

I've never gone where I've wanted
Nor have I learned all I wanted or that I could.
I've never given back, I've always taken.

I've never found what I was looking for
No matter how hard I've tried.
I never got my foot in the door
And I can't look at myself and feel proud of anything I've done.

I've never inspired anyone who knew me
Even though I wish I did.
I never made a positive difference to those who knew me.
I've never figured out what has made anyone what they are today
Especially myself.

I know I don't want to waste another day
I want to change myself
I want to do things I haven't done.

I know I haven't always given it my best
There's more than I know that I regret.
If I could give it another shot,
I most likely would change a lot
It wasn't at all what I thought it would be
I'm definitely not the person I thought I would be.
I always felt like I was standing still
And never moving forward.

I want to change it all.
I want to thank my friends for being there
And say sorry to those I've hurt
I want to change
And live everyday like it's the last.
