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
