Looking Back

Sometimes when looking back
It's easier to understand
Just why things go awry
And life isn't what you planned
Because looking back
It let's you see brand new
All the things you understood
And the things you never knew
You can realize the poison
Didn't magically appear one day
It was always there hiding
Behind the things they'd do and say
And maybe it was just pretend
That it would be OK
That we made excuses
Knowing we'd nerve find a way
But time for looking back is done
There's nothing there to see
Just people who are always lonely
But what I can't see now is me
