Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart again
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart
It’s just a trick of the light
It’s just a little illusion
Take a measure of spite
Add a little confusion
Looking back
Looking back, darling, I can see your point of view
Looking back
Looking back, darling, see your memory cutting in on you
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart again
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart
Now the secret you’re keeping
Is so well understood
Feel your past come creeping
You know you’d change it if you could
Looking back
Looking back, darling, I can see your point of view
Looking back
Looking back, darling, feel your memory crowding in on you
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart again
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart
When it hits the fan
All the alibis wear thin
When your fur starts flying
Ah that’s when the fun begins
Looking back
Looking back, darling, I can see your point of view
Looking back
Looking back, darling, see your memory come screaming through
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart again
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart
Back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart again
I'm back with a vengeance
Back to break your heart
