Can't Go Back

Telling me every little word you've ever known
Just to keep the sound of my voice on the phone
And it's not that I wanted to let go
But something's off in the ebb and flow
But you already know

'Cause we talk, talk, talk
But we get nowhere
And the ticking of the clock won't stop
We're caught screaming, "This ain't fair"
And I know you're thinking that I'm going mad
Leaving the comfort of the world you've been dreaming about
That we never had

But love don't grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
Holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier, believe me, girl, nah
But we can't go back, we can't go back
And no, no, no, no, we can't go back

Thinking of any way I'd be back one day
But nothing in the world could make it okay
That I ever even left in the first place
What's done is done, it can't be erased
So go on and face it
We could run, run, run, but it's always there
Popping up in the side eyed white lies
Breaking me down with a cold stare

But love don't grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
Holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier, believe me, girl, nah
But we can't go back, we can't go back
No, no, no, no, we can't go back

Moving on isn't giving up
Giving in isn't good enough
Moving on isn't giving up
Giving in isn't good enough
Moving on isn't giving up
Giving in isn't good enough
Moving on isn't giving up
Giving in isn't good enough

But love don't grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
And holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier, believe me, girl, nah
But we can't go back, we can't go back
No, no, we can't go back
