No Backward Glances

by Blackthistle   Nov 5, 2006


I've rolled it over in my head, the thoughts that I wish I'd never said, I wish I'd never told, I wish I'd never cried, the pain I have to show you, The love I have to hide.

Don't let me fall away in fear, It's not what you wanna hear, I'm looking around, Hoping I'm found, I'm like a little lost stray, Searching for day, Just show me the way.

Push me out the window, I'll fall and break my back, I'm nothing without you to hold me, Please give me some slack, I don't know where I'm heading, Or where I started out, I hope you can forgive me, This is what it's about.

I'm on my last lives, I think I'm gonna die, Don't lose me in the darkness, Don't force me into light, Let me sit here with you, All day and all night, I'll be here to guide you, It's the only thing that's right.

I'm falling and I'm scared, This isn't what I'm aware, I'm lost in a sea, I wondering where you'll be, Three years from now I'm wondering, Is this safe, Is this sound, But no more backward glances, I've gotta look to the future and I'm sorry but it doesn't include you.
