Never To Look 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.
It's not that easy
Never to look back
The years distort the lies
We take for fact
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
All my loving is not enough for that
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
I had black thoughts
But now they're undone
Thoughts are eaasy
And they're all I have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that
How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back
Thoughts are easy
But they're all I have
Life's not easy
If all you do is fight
The truth is changed by
The memories we have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that
How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back
