Can't Go Back

I knew those words

Would find the bruise

I said them twice

To watch you lose

You went so still

I let you leave

Then called it pride

For weeks and weeks

I still hear it

Leave my mouth

Words don't come back

Once they're out

Can't go back

It's in your bones

You still flinch

I sleep alone

I'd take it back

It's yours to keep

Can't go back

The cut runs deep

I heard your name

From an old friend

You still brace up

When voices bend

I asked if you

Were doing well

He watched his drink

I let it end

I still hear it

Leave my mouth

Words don't come back

Once they're out

Can't go back

It's in your bones

You still flinch

I sleep alone I'd take it back It's yours to keep

Can't go back The cut runs deep

I knew better

Did it anyway You bear the scars I bear the blame Too

fucking late To take it back I made the choice You live

with that

Can't go back Can't go back

Can't go back It's in your bones

You still flinch I sleep alone I'd take it back It's yours

to keep Can't go back The cut runs deep
