If You Find yourself Looking Back
guitar chords lyrics
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
Damn the youth I had, for it was wasted on myself.
My disillusioned passion was an impoverished sense of wealth.
The painted rust I would become traded the sunrise for the sunset.
Call it kitsch but, darlin', this is all that I have left…
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK,
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…
In the end you start to feel the beginning at last;
The sour sting to the throat as I drink down the past.
And I shouldn't waste your time with the musings of long gone,
But I say this as a man who's learned the burden of what he's done wrong…
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
But I say this as a man who's learned the burden of what he's done wrong…
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK,
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…
Now you're just a memory, a flash point in my mind.
And I the ‘once burned' lesson to you and your love in kind.
I sent you away, but now like a dog I bay at the moon if only to put a whisper in your ear:
The sands of time turn to diamonds as can a bitter-sweet memory from tears…
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK…
