[Verse 1]
Twenty-six-year-old me is the one I like the least
She's the reason I still feel unsteady on my feet
That old decade left nothing but a bad taste in my mouth
I still thank God it's miles away from where I'm sitting now
[Chorus]
Nothing's wasted, yeah, I'd change it
In a heartbeat if I could
But I chose it and the stories
Even the bad all wrote my book
Now I'm molding my future
With the mud still on my hands
To remind me that a little dirt
Just makes me who I am
It doesn't make me any less than
[Verse 2]
Who could miss the girl that swappеd out self-love for sabotage?
Falsе hope and backward steps never get you very far
Seems you got a taste of losing, that's what makes the winning sweet
Gotta know the climb was worth it, even though a little steep
[Chorus]
Nothing's wasted, yeah, I'd change it
In a heartbeat if I could
But I chose it and the stories
Even the bad all wrote my book
Now I'm molding my future
With the mud still on my hands
To remind me that a little dirt
Just makes me who I am
[Bridge]
Hey, it shaped me, rearranged me
Every mistake and mishap
Without the [?] and [?]
Where would I be at?
[Chorus]
Yeah, nothing's wasted, yeah I'd change it
In a heartbeat if I could
But I chose it and the stories
Even the bad all wrote my book
Now I'm molding my future
With the mud still on my hands
To remind me that a little dirt
Just makes me who I am
It doesn't make me any less than
[Outro]
Hey, it makes me who I am
