Take down those pictures in the frames
They've got you trapped now
Locked in a past with no escape
Unless you break out
Burn all those letters in a flame
That the tears can't put out
You can't afford to play it safe now

Your life is more than what you've done
You can't hold on forever
I hope you know it's time to let this go

Chorus:
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And leave them all behind
You're holding on too tight
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And just make up your mind
There is no better time

Jump in and let it wash away
The worst is over
Older and wiser now, not colder

Your life is more than what you've done
You can't hold on forever
I hope you know it's time to let this go

Chorus:
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And leave them all behind
You're holding on too tight
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And just make up your mind
There is no better time

So will you run in a new direction?
No, don't you dare slow down
