Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some things you can't go back to
Some things need left alone
Don't mess with the memories of a life passed on
All the tumbling reservations
At the heart of my mistakes
Oh, some things you can't go back to
'Cause you let them slip away
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be a witness
To a path that's overgrown
I don't wanna see this house not be a home
[Verse 3]
'Cause time has taken control of
What we couldn't see
No, I don't wanna be a witness
To the end of you and me
[Verse 4]
How am I gonna make each moment
Better than the last?
How am I gonna make it better if I can't go back
[Verse 5]
Oh, the tumbling reservations
At the heart of my mistakes
Oh, some things you can't go back to
'Cause you let them slip away
Oh, some things you can't go back to
