Back to What Matters

If I could only have you be the person you once were With my breath of misery lost and once removed Can we go back, back, back to what matters This was made and nothing more Can we go back, back, back to what matters Through the rage I had before If I could just retrace my steps to you back then And through your anguish guide you away from descent On the backs of angels see you soar one final time And have the chance to alter fate within your mind Now I can't go back, back, back to a time When we were bound and never torn And now I can't, can't go through one moment of the day without remorse All perception of regret and shame Hidden in sight on a fading page Written in vain, folded in two Thrown into the coffin beside you If I could just retrace my steps to you back then And through your anguish guide you away from descent On the backs of angels see you soar one final time And have the chance to alter fate within your mind I can never go back I can never go back I can never go back again Retracing steps so temporary And what little is left I carry with me Now I can't go back, back, back to a place Where there was truth and promise reigned I can't go back, back, back to what matters When no one's willing to change If I could just retrace my steps And through your anguish guide you away from descent On the backs of angels see you soar one final time And have the chance to alter fate within your mind If I could just retrace my steps (I can never go back again) And through your anguish guide you away from descent On the backs of angels see you soar one final time And have the chance to alter fate within your mind
