Lyrics
Looking 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.
Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife
But I know yes I know I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds I can see signs of wise man heeds
But if I just have a chance I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing I gave nothing in return
Now I can begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate I can see love turn to hate
But I know yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again
But I know yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again
