I Can't Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro)

I reminisce

On the last Christmas I spent with my mom and my dad

I'm still trippin', wishin' that I could go back

To know what I'm missin', it's a mystery, oh, how'd I forget?

I'm not a magician, I try fixin' shit that I can't

Memories make me sick

I hope the past the hardest that it gets

Mama said she drinkin' to forget

I told my mama, "Save your son a sip"

Tryna slow my breath and get a grip

I think life is harder than in death

They're in Heaven, I'm the one that's left (They left)

I did things that I knew were wrong

But time just keeps movin' on

And no matter which way I run

I can't go back to the way it was

I broke bones and I shed some blood

And time took a few friends I love

And no matter which way I run

I can't go back to the way it was, no

And I can't go back to the way it was, no

And I can't go back to the way it was, no

(Hold this moment while you can)

(Tell your people that you care)

(Do it now while you still can)

I can't go back to the way it was, no (Can't go back to the—)

I said I can't go back to the way it was now, oh (No, no)

I can't go back to the way it was, no
