If the past was hard.
The past is the past,
time to let go

If you find that you can't let go
Live for now,
don't let it stop you

If you find that it stops you
Learn to forgive and forget.
Life's to short to live with regrets

If you find yourself with regrets,
Make amends and start anew.
Because if you do, nothing can stop you
