I Can't Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro)

I reminisce on the last Christmas I spent with my mom and my dad

I'm still trippin' wishin' that I could go back to know what I'm missin'

It's a mystery, oh, how'd I forget?

I'm not a magician, I'm tryna fix this shit that I can't

Memories made me sick

I hope the past the hardest that it gets

Momma said she drinkin', to forget

I told my momma, "save your son a sip"

Tryna slow my breath and get a grip

I think life is harder than in death

They're in heaven, I'm the one that's left (they left)

I did things that I knew were wrong but

Time just keeps movin' on and

No matter which way I run

I can't go back to the way it was, no

I broke bones and I shed some blood and

Time took a few friends I love and

No matter which way I run

I can't go back to the way it was, no

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And I can't go back to the way it was, no

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And I can't go back to the way it was, no

Ooh-ooh-ooh (hold this moment while you can)

(Tell your people that you care)

(Do it all while you still can)

I can't go back to the way it was, no (can't go back to the)

I said I can't go back to the way it was, nah, oh (no, no)

I can't go back to the way it was, no
