Lyrics Shelby Lynne

Shelby Lynne

I Want to Go Back

Sometimes things don't work out like we plan

We had it all in the palm of our hands

Was it the unknown fears or the river of tears

I just know it's bittersweet

And all those feelings came over me

I just can't conceive

Why I'd want to return

But I want to go back so I can run away again

Oh why does it feel so right to hurt so long

Is it just what I'm used to

Does my heart need these scars to keep me alive

Oh and every time I pick up my guitar

The sweet chords and melody

I just add to the collection of my broken dreams

And I want to go back so I can run away again.

Oh it's holding me back, I'm stuck in my tracks

I can't let go, I'm holding onto the hurting

Aw it's a sin you see it's killing me

I'm tired of running put me out of the misery

Singing don't always suit my every need

Hmm it's a necessity.

So I won't fall to pieces in my empty room

Aw my lonely room,

Where I keep my lessons hidden

They're supposed to be forgotten

I go there way too often

And I want to go back so I can run away again.

Yes I do

Yeah I want to go back so I can run away again.
