Salt in the Wound

I wish I could go back and tell myself that
Go back and tell myself that
Sure love seems sharing and all that
But you give someone something you don't get it back
You don't get it back, don't get it back, don't get it back

And I know I can't change the past can't change the past, can't change the past
But how long will memories last

I dream of a different version of things
When I'm a better person, redeemed
And I know for certain I'd be
Wholehearted and consciously free

'Cause seeing you
It's like rubbing salt in the wound
And never again, man
It'd still be too soon

Oooh, I know it's my fault too
I know that I'm guilty as much as you
Oooh, I know it's my fault too
I wish it weren't true
I wish it all weren't true

I wish I could go back and see I'm not
Painted in a corner, I'm not caught
In a place I can't get properly out of

Those days were so slow but they felt so fast
And I know I can't change the facts
But how long will memories last

I wish I could go back and tell myself that
Those times may have felt good but they were so bad
And it's almost worse when there's no attack
I got off easy, I know that
I got off easy I know that, I know that, I know that

This world moves too quick for sheltering eyes
You're still everywhere, all of the time and
I can't control it no matter how I try, no matter how I try

Seeing you
It's like rubbing salt in the wound
And never again, man
It'd still be too soon

Oooh, I know it's my fault too
I know that I'm guilty as much as you
Oooh, I know it's my fault too
I wish it weren't true
I wish it all weren't true

Oooh, I know it's my fault too
I wish it weren't true
I wish it all weren't true
