Going Back

I don't want to think back to those days

But I guess that I'll revisit them to put them all away

In all the things I knew we'd never be

I hoped that you would turn around, that one day you would see

Instead you plugged your ears and turned on this

Think of all the phrases now, of all the things you've missed

I told you then you'd long to hear those words

But you didn't until now, so I guess they went unheard

You kissed me hard and left me, but I never turned around

You went off in your little world, but look at what you've found

I don't need a reason 'cause there's no need to react

You can keep on moving forward, but I'm never going back

Oh I'm never going back

I still tend to think of what went wrong

But it happened for a reason and I chose to move along

It found a space in lip syncs from the dark

From the feelings left unsaid to the beating of your heart

I'd promised you I meant the things I said

You say you kept the thoughts there, but they all escaped your head

I never knew the words would make you cry

You think of what you did then, but never wondered why

You kissed me hard and left me, but I never turned around

You went off in your little world, but look at what you've found

I don't need a reason 'cause there's no need to react

You can keep on moving forward, but I'm never going back

Oh I'm never going back

You copied down the lyrics, all the words I wrote for you

At the time they all seemed meaningless, but now they're seeping through

They leave the page and make a way for you to find release

But what's to say when interest wains and time for love has ceased?

I think that I gave up on you, when you gave up on me

I chose to walk away from you, because I had to leave

You kissed me hard and left me, but I never turned around

You went off in your little world, but look at what you've found

I don't need a reason 'cause there's no need to react

You can keep on moving forward, but I'm never going back

Oh I'm never going back

Now you have the words I wrote, but they're lost after the fact

I chose to walk away from you, now I'm never going back
