Don’t Look Back

歌詞

By now there's no mistaking Why I'll not get paroled The jail's of my own making From grudges I still hold Built up from years of anger Turning to stone I do my time inside, alone No break along these fences I stare out past that gate Behind my best defenses I plan my great escape The key would be forgiveness Let down my guard Cold steel has turned my heart so hard Don't look back on the sad decisions That kept me who I used to be I felt the light but had no vision 'Till you came and set me free Don't look back at the lock-down ending Strike that set like a sleight of hand Nothing there that's worth defending Turn those walls to wind and sand Regret takes every minute. No time that it won't steal And when my mind stays in it, that prison feels so real My mirrors all get shattered. Small price to pay It's just the past that blocks my way Don't look back at the smug and clever The fortress walls that gave me pride Set my heart apart forever And made my anger justified Don't look back to the world of hurtin' That need to feel so right was wrong I made a trade to be so certain And paid the price for way too long Don't look back till we're out in the open Those dark days can't hold me now When I almost gave up hoping You brought me through the light somehow Don't look back at the cage that bound me All those times you told me so The righteous rage I built around me I finally have to let it go It's only the past, I know Only the past held me down: only the past held me. So DON'T LOOK BACK
