Looking Back

I put you in a picture frame
But when you left glass fell like falling rain
On the windows of my soul
On the ground like a flame it burned
Still when turning to the chapter
where I let somethings go
I got in my car and drove

chorus
Took out the rearview mirror so I could see clearer
What was in front instead of what was back there
My eyes kept shifting to see past the dirt road
If you were still standing there starin'
And now it's about time that, I stop looking back

The sound of your name rang like a church bell
Sunday morning just to tell me
You're not out of my mind
I forced a smile when I saw you around
Feelings for you were in the ground
But that's a lie that I can't hide
So I close my eyes

bridge
One day you'll see a letter from me
And that's when you'll know that you've not
Forgotten me, you can't push me out of your mind
but I've found that the more you travel
The threads of things will unravel
With distance and time

And now it's about time that I stop looking back
I stop looking back
I stop looking back
