John Vogel - Tommorrow

Too many days spent in reflecting on unfulfilled dreams
Only now, when it's too late to do anything do I see
Missed opportunities to spend this time constructively
On important things in life, closed eyes blind to reality
Regretful, I spend my days looking back on past misakes
Remembering the dreams I had, so sad how fast they fade
One by one they fade away, left with sorrow and pain
Waiting on my dreams to start, but tomorrow never came

In quiet contemplation, it suddenly seems clear to me
So much time spent waiting... time wasted needlessly

Joylessly chasing after something I could never catch
Unaware that today is the only day that can ever exist
Senselessly I spent days on end wasting precious time
Thinking 'tomorrow will be the perfect day for me to shine'

After all this time, now I see, too late to change the past

Destiny was in my hands, but I let it slip, it went so fast
Rewind in my mind the time and find myself in yesterday
Endlessly grasping at that elusive tomorrow expectantly
And now it ends, I breathe my last in sorrow now i see
Made the mistake of waiting but... tomorrow is just a dream.
