Looking Back
Reflections on a Journey: Learning from Life's Mistakes
Lyrics
Looking back over my life
Reflecting on my life experiences
I can see where I caused you strife
Acknowledging instances where I caused you trouble
And I know, yes, I know
Expressing awareness of my mistakes
I'd never make that same mistake again
Committing to not repeating the same errors
Looking back over my deeds
Reviewing my past actions and behaviors
I can see signs a wise man heeds
Recognizing the wisdom in heeding certain signs
And if I just had a chance
Wishing for an opportunity to rectify my past
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
Reiterating the determination not to make the same mistake
Once my cup was overflowing
Recalling a time of abundance
But I gave nothing in return
Admitting a failure to reciprocate
Now I can't begin to tell you
Struggling to convey the depth of the lesson learned
What a lesson I have learned
Emphasizing the profound impact of the experience
Looking back over the slate
Examining past relationships and connections
I can see love turned to hate
Noting the transformation of love into animosity
And I know, yes, I know
Reiterating awareness of the mistake
That I'd never make that same mistake again
Affirming the commitment to avoid repetition
Looking back over the slate
Reflecting on the consequences of past choices
I can see love turned to hate
Observing the shift from love to hatred
And if I just had a chance
Expressing a desire for a chance to make amends
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
Reiterating the determination to avoid repeating mistakes
I'd never make that same mistake again
Emphasizing the strong commitment not to repeat errors
I'd never make that same mistake again
Repeating the resolve to avoid the same mistakes
Oh, I'd never make that same mistake again
Strongly affirming the commitment to change
