The better part of me

My past will always haunt me
a past that will always be
but i am a better person now
having learned the better part of me

with arms open wide
and a heart full of pride
i can now express to you
just what i feel inside

you tried to lead the way
yet i went astray
and of course i then became
more stubborn just the same

though you felt i was a rebel
i now that you could tell
i was only trying to find where i belong
just waiting to sing my very own song

but know that you were always there
so please put away despair
for you always mattered
and always i did care

believe me when i say"i love you"
because its so very true
i now how much you love me
Ive learned of love...because of you
