lyrics

There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter down the line
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter down the line

I've been driving my car
Only looking out the rear-view mirror
Got me passing by
All the things I should have stopped at
But I didn't try
No I didn't try

So I've got to let go
Take the lessons learned
And move on

Can't spend my life
Chasing a fading star that isn't mine
Cause I know there's something brighter down the line
Can't waste my time
Thinking of all the ways things could have gone
Tragedy is not my life song

I've been walking down the street
With my eyes over my shoulder
It's no way to go
That's a fast way to a dead end
And it's where I'm heading
If I don't turn round

So I've got to let go
Take the lessons learned
And move on

Can't spend my life
Chasing a fading star that isn't mine
Cause I know there's something brighter down the line
Can't waste my time
Thinking of all the ways things could have gone
Tragedy is not my life song

I've been standing in one place for so long
I've become part of the scenery
In a park, I might be a tree
A statue in a gallery
Well I don't think that's where I want to be

So I've got to let go
Take the lessons learned
And move on
And you know that I'll be strong
Cause I'm moving on

Can't spend my life
Chasing a fading star that isn't mine
Cause I know there's something brighter down the line
Can't waste my time
Thinking of all the ways things could have gone
Tragedy is not my life song
Can't spend my life
Chasing a fading star that isn't mine
Cause I know there's something brighter down the line
Can't waste my time
Thinking of all the ways things could have gone
Tragedy is not my life song

There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter down the line
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter down the line
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter, yeah
There's something brighter down the line
