Never Going Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In my youth I was restless
Never knowing why days turn blue
I was sure, sure of nothing
I was searching for something new
If I'm being honest there's no promise
That all things turn the way you want them to
And the worst part is you can't fight it
But you might learn how to find a way through
I've lost and I've been let down
I've been torn in two
It's so long since I felt right
I want something new
I'm never going back
Never going back
I'm never going back
Never going back to those days
In my time I've seen all things
Some that made me, some broke me too
Through the bullshit and the beauty
Sometimes changes leave marks on you
If I'm being honest there's no promise
That all things turn the way you want them to
And the best parts is the pain and heartache
Will teach you how to find a way through
I've lost and I've been let down
I've been torn in two
It's so long since I felt right
I want something new
I'm never going back
Never going back
I'm never going back
Never going back to those days
I'm never going back
Never going back
I'm never going back
Never going back to those days
So there it is
The beauty and the bullshit
A slow crawl out of hell
Through mud, blood and tears
I've earned every stripe
Every stitch and bruise
Yeah I got regrets
And plenty of things I'd change
Well fuck it, Ce La Vie
It's all part of the mix
So eyes, heart and soul forward
I'm never going back
I'm never, going, back, to those days
Those days, those days, those days
Its so long since I felt right
I want something new
I'm never going back
Never going back
I'm never going back
Never going back to those days
I'm never going back
Never going back
I'm never going back
Never going back to those days
