Can't Look Back Lyrics
Verse1
You know what I'm saying happened long ago
For Reasons I don't want to know
The only thing I've learned
I know you won't return
And due to life I don't wanna know
But I keep movin' on
And about hangin' on
Now I'm stuck here singin'
And I know I don't belong
Pre-Chorus
I thought we were wrong
We were wrong to get involved now its all our fault
Turned into something we don't need
But I didn't know what a shame it was
And its all my fault
I know I said some things that I don't mean
Come on now
Chorus
Let go
Tell me why
Cause I don't know
Reasons that you had to go
The reasons that you said good-bye
Said good-bye
Come back
I may need time
But I'm still intact
Holdin' on I Can't Look Back
It makes you wonder why
How can it be so right
Yeah
Solo/Verse2
I spent my summer waitin'
Waitin' for a chance
Last in line and I got no patience
The only thing I've learned
I know you won't return
And I'm stuck here singing
I know I won't be heard
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Everyone is starring at me now
But its not the same
Outro
I didn't know
It doesnt mean you have to go far away
I didn't know
It doesn't mean you have to go all the way
I didn't know
I can't believe it but I see it
And I can't change your mind
I didn't know
It doesn't mean you have to go far away
I didn't know
It doesn't mean we have to throw it away
I didn't know
I can't believe it but I see it
And I can't change your mind
Yeah
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
Cause I can't change your mind
You know what I'm saying happened long ago
For Reasons I don't want to know
The only thing I've learned
I know you won't return
And due to life I don't wanna know
But I keep movin' on
And about hangin' on
Now I'm stuck here singin'
And I know I don't belong
I thought we were wrong
We were wrong to get involved now its all our fault
Turned into something we don't need
But I didn't know what a shame it was
And its all my fault
I know I said some things that I don't mean
Come on now
Let go
Tell me why
Cause I don't know
Reasons that you had to go
The reasons that you said good-bye
Said good-bye
Come back
I may need time
But I'm still intact
Holdin' on I Can't Look Back
It makes you wonder why
How can it be so right
Yeah
I spent my summer waitin'
Waitin' for a chance

I didn't know
It doesn't mean we have to throw it away
I didn't know
I can't believe it but I see it
And I can't change your mind
Yeah

The Stereo is an amazing band. More people really need to start checking them out. I love this song, it was one of the first I heard of them, and even now I'm still not sick of it.
Well definitely about a breakup...the part that kinda really gets me is "The only thing I've learned I know you won't return..." Yeah. Ouch. But like the song also says...I Can't Look Back... Here's to moving on.
