"Never To Look Back"

It's not that easy
Never to look back
The years distort the lies
We take for fact
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one.
All my loving is not enough for that.

I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
I had black thoughts
But now they're undone.
Thoughts are easy
And they're all I have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that.

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth bit did it ever exist.
I tell myself, well never again,
Never to look back,
'Cos it's never the same.
Never to look back

Thoughts are easy
And they're all I have
Life's not easy,
If all you do is fight.
The truth is changed by
The memories we have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that.

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth bit did it ever exist.
I tell myself, well never again,
Never to look back,
'Cos it's never the same.
Never to look back
