Going Back (v. 3)


I don't want to think back to those days
But I guess that I'll revisit them to put them all away
In all the things I knew we'd never be
I hoped that you would turn around, that one day you would see

Instead you plugged your ears and turned on this
Think of all the phrases now, of everything you missed
I told you then you'd long to hear those words
But you never stopped to understand, so I guess they went unheard

I said that I was leaving, but you never turned around
I thought that you would call my bluff, but instead you hit the ground
Running 'til you left me here with nothing to attack
I think it's time to move along, we're never going back
Well we're never going back

I still tend to think of what went wrong
But it happened for a reason and I chose to move along
It found a space in lip syncs from the dark
From the feelings left unregistered to the beating of your heart

I was certain of all the other things I'd said
You say you kept the thoughts there, but they all escaped your head
Though I never knew the words would make you cry
You think of what we sacrificed, but never questioned why

I said that I was leaving, but you never turned around
I thought that you would call my bluff, but instead you hit the ground
Running 'til you left me here with nothing to attack
I think it's time to move along, we're never going back
Well we're never going back

You copied down the phrases, all the words I wrote for you
At the time they all seemed meaningless, but now they're seeping through
They leave the page and make a way for you to find some peace
But what's to say when interest wains and the time for love has ceased?

I think that I gave up on you, when you gave up on me
I chose to walk away from you, because I had to leave

I said that I was leaving, but you never turned around
I thought that you would call my bluff, but instead you hit the ground
Running 'til you left me here with nothing to attack
I think it's time to move along, we're never going back
Well we're never going back

Now you have the wordds I wrote, but they're lost after the fact
I chose to walk away from you and I'm never going back
Now I'm never going back
