Looking Back
Reflections on a Life Unraveled: Learning from Mistakes
Lyrics
Looking ba-a-ack over my life
Reflecting on past experiences and events in my life.
I can see where I caused you strife
Acknowledging instances where I caused difficulties or trouble for you.
But I know, oh yes I know
Expressing awareness, affirming that I understand.
I'd never make that same mistake again
Committing to not repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds
Reflecting on my past actions or accomplishments.
I can see signs a wise man heeds
Recognizing the signs that a wise person would pay attention to.
And if I just ha-ad the chance
Expressing a desire for another opportunity.
I'd never make that same mistake again
Promising not to repeat previous errors if given a chance.
Once my cup was overflowing
Recalling a time when I had abundance or prosperity.
But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Acknowledging a failure to reciprocate or give back in return.
Now I can't begin to te-ell you
Expressing difficulty in conveying the depth of the lesson learned.
What a lesson I have learned
Highlighting the profound nature of the lesson acquired.
Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
Reviewing past events or relationships.
I can see love turned to hate
Observing a transformation from love to animosity.
But I know, oh yes I know
Reiterating the understanding that the same mistakes won't be repeated.
I'd never make that same mistake again
Restating the commitment to avoid making the same errors again.
