I Can't Go Back (Acoustic)

Though past mistakes are dead and gone

Everyone is moving on

I feel a weight holding me down

Free as a bird trapped in a cage

The door's unlocked, I could escape

Freedom's smile turn to a frown

Somehow I'm afraid of where I've been

You know the trap I'm in

Somehow I need to break free

From this forgiven sin

I can't go back to who I was

I fear I'll break and tear

I can't go back, he's six feet under

So here's my plan I'll leave him there

Though in the grave, he somehow raised

To take my joy and give me pain

He told me he'll steer for a while

And like a fool I gave him the reigns

And all my work was done in vain

To keep my past deep underground

Now I'm done crying, I need to pick myself up

And shake off the dust

I'm done lying, I know where I have been

And I can't go back again

I can't go back to who I was

I fear I'll break and tear

I can't go back, he's six feet under

So here's my plan I'll leave him there

I can't go back, he's six feet under

So here's my plan I'll leave him there
