Lyrics
Now I can see you were right
I shouldn't have done that
I can see I was wrong and you were right
I shouldn't have done that
You said don't make a big deal out of nothing
Don't live your life always chasing something
Or you're gonna miss out on all the fun things - the fun things
I would have been fine
I would have been fine
But it took my whole life until I learned to take my time
Now I realize
You were right
Now I can see you were right
I shouldn't have done that
I can see I was wrong and you were right
I shouldn't have done that
A mistake doesn't mean you've blown it
'cause the joy is in the moment
You're gonna miss it if you don't own it - so own it
I would have been fine
I would have been fine
No one is better than an ordinary life
Now I realize
You were right
Now I can see you were right
I shouldn't have done that
I can see I was wrong and you were right
I shouldn't have done that
I kept my eye on the prize
I didn't listen to your advice
Now when I look back on my life
I realize
You were right
Now I can see you were right
Now I can see you were right
Now I can see you were right
You were right
