"I Want To Go Back" lyrics

"I Want To Go Back"

Sometimes things don't work out like we plan
We had it all in the palm of our hands
Was it the unknown fears or the river of tears
I just know it's bittersweet
And all those feelings came over me
I just can't conceive
Why I'd want to return
But I want to go back so I can run away again

Oh, why does it feel so right to hurt so long
Is it just what I'm used to
Does my heart need these scars to keep me alive
Oh, and every time I pick up my guitar
The sweet chords and melody
I just add to the collection of my broken dreams
And I want to go back so I can run away again

Oh, it's holding me back, I'm stuck in my tracks
I can't let go, I'm holding onto the hurting
Aw, it's a sin you see it's killing me
I'm tired of running put me out of the misery

Singing don't always suit my every need
Hmm, it's a necessity
So I won't fall to pieces in my empty room
Aw, my lonely room
Where I keep my lessons hidden
They're supposed to be forgotten
I go there way too often
And I want to go back so I can run away again
Yes, I do
Yeah, I want to go back so I can run away again
