I Don't Go Back Anymore
Breaking the Chains of Love: A Journey Beyond Regret
Lyrics
A friend of mine told me that you were down here last night
A friend informed me that you were present here last night
I almost called him a liar but I seen he was right,
I nearly accused him of lying, but I realized he was telling the truth
Yeah, he was right.
Confirming that the friend was indeed correct
I'm over my anger but that's about all
I've moved past my anger, but that's all I've managed
It's hard to recover from that kind of fall
It's challenging to recover from such a significant downfall
A fool never knows when to give up
A foolish person doesn't recognize when to quit
For years I remember those long nights of love
I remember the extended nights of love over many years
But, I don't go back, anymore
I refrain from revisiting the past
My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door
My heart has closed off and secured itself
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
It's as difficult as stopping the sea from reaching the shore
No I, don't go back anymore
I consciously avoid returning to the past
You're still just as pretty as you were back then
You're still as attractive as you were in the past
If I didn't know you, I'd fall again
If I didn't know better, I might fall for you again
So don't smile and tell me that you still care
Don't claim you still care; it's not fair to evoke my emotions
Don't stir up my feelings, it just isn't fair
Asking the person not to rekindle feelings
I don't go back, anymore
I avoid revisiting past relationships or emotions
My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door
My heart remains closed and protected
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
Comparing the difficulty to prevent a return to stopping the sea
No I, don't go back, anymore
Emphasizing the decision not to revisit the past
No, I don't go back, anymore
Reiterating the resolve not to return to the past
A friend of mine told me you might be down here tonight...
A friend suggests the possibility of the person being present tonight
