Looking Back

She made a safe space inside her head She'd hide away there when things got tense And in this safe place, she propped a tent And said, "this place is my one defense" Somewhere down the line, things got too real Somewhere down the line, she forgot how to feel Only moving forward, no I can't take the weight of looking back Only moving forward cause I know there's a name to what I lack She made a safe place inside her head Buried her demons and kept them fed She let them take her, then blamed herself For making life a living hell Somewhere down the line, things got too real Somewhere down the line, she forgot how to feel Only moving forward, no I can't take the weight of looking back Only moving forward cause I know there's a name to what I lack Only moving forward, no I can't take the weight of looking back Only moving forward cause I know there's a name to what I lack She had to grow up and come undone to see the person that she'd become A head of dreams, a fading smile She sheds a tear for her inner child She walks the home that she once assumed No one's been home since the last blue moon She finds a portrait covered in dust Remembers who she used to trust Only moving forward, no I can't take the weight of looking back Only moving forward cause I know there's a name to what I lack Only moving forward, no I can't take the weight of looking back Only moving forward cause I know there's a name to what I lack
