I go through life
always looking back
at where i've been, what I've done
I rarely look forward
at where I'm going, what I'm going to do

As I look back
All I ever see
are the mistakes I've made, the wrong I've done
When I look forward
I see myself making more mistakes, more wrongs

As I go through life
I see myself slipping away
I wonder how I ended up here
What could I have done different, done better
Would it have even mattered

As I look back
I hope to see what I can change
So when I look forward
I could see a glimmer of hope
But there is none, there is nothing

As I look forward
I see the glimmer of hope
but it quickly fades
Something comes from the back
Always to ruin it
