Can't Look Back

from Road Trip by Amanda McCarthy

/

lyrics

This pretty smile might suggest that I'm alright but I confess
You're putting my heart to the test and baby I'm a mess
The load is lying on my spine, I tell them all that I'm just fine
But I can't get you off my mind after all this time

And I can't look back on the road that I've traveled
Chose my path and the story unraveled
I wouldn't change a thing, but I still feel it sting

(Chorus)
These thoughts are turning around, turning around
And running right back to you
My heart is calling you out from the inside out
Knowing I must hide the truth
And what a shame, the one that got away
Always seems to be the one who never knew
But these words will never find their way to you

The silence kills me but I know I had my shot and let it go
And now the feelings live aglow, they haunt me like a ghost
He loves me more than words can say, but my heart pulls the other way
I see the soul that I could save and you're a tidal wave

And I can't look back on the road that I've traveled
Chose my path and the story unraveled
I wouldn't change a thing, but I still feel it sting

(Chorus)

And I can't look back on the road that I've traveled
Chose my path and the story unraveled
I run and run but it's no use 'cause I can't run away from you

And what a shame, the things we hide away
Always find the heart just a little too late

(Chorus) x2
