So many things in my life
Have started to change
All my fears and my doubts
They stay the same
I still waiver at the mention of your name
I fall apart, right back to the very start
For all my toil and my strife
You're still so far away
But the aching in my heart
So easily attained
I will parry on the weight around my heart
The lights go dim, then out
But I can feel you in the dark
Nothing really good
Ever comes from looking back
You see all the things you lack
And what will never be
Hope deferred
Makes the aching heart grow sick
And you're longing cause of it
To just be free
From what will never be
So hold on to the hunger
White knuckled, falling under
Don't fall to the famine
Dive deep to breathe again
Why can't you just see?
You were it for me
Come hell or highwater
In the longing I will falter
You ain't supposed to look back
You ain't supposed to look back
You ain't supposed to look back
You ain't supposed to look back
But I just can't
I just can't
I just can't, no
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't, no
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't
No, I can't help it
Nothing really good
Ever comes from looking back
You see all the things you lack
And what will never be
Hope deferred
Makes the aching heart grow sick
And you're longing cause of it
To just be free
From what will never be
