CAN'T GET BACK
(we can't ever go back)
(to the past...never)
When you were surely mine
(I won't love anyone)
(but you, I know it)
I can't get back that time
(I want to move forward)
(only look ahead)
When you were surely mine
(I won't forget you)
(But I won't remember you)
'It wasn't supposed to be this way'
I've been using that cliched phrase a lot recently
But there are some dreams I just can't give up
This gap just keeps widening
...I'm searching in all the wrong places
Reality turned out so differently from my ideals, and I blamed it all on you
and then I lost you
I shouldn't be the man that I am
When I used the word 'forever'
It was just an excuse to keep the moments that worked best for me
You said, 'But time is always moving'
* repeat chorus
Before you know it today becomes yesterday
Time goes by, even if you dream, even if you cry
See, the sun will be setting soon
painting my tear stained cheeks
...I miss you
* chorus
Once you were mine, baby
(we can't ever go back)
(to the past...never)
When you were surely mine
(I won't love anyone)
(but you, I know it)
I can't get back that time
(I want to move forward)
(only look ahead)
When you were surely mine
(I won't forget you)
