Looking Back

I can't be happy alone anymore
I've gotten used to your comforting words
I bite my nails till my fingers are sore
See what you've done with your comforting words

No man's an island, the sages all say
Who would have guessed I'd have doubted so long
Now that I'm bound and I like it this way
I must confess that I've always been wrong

There was a time when I thought
I had all that I needed
My choices receded in shame
There was a time when I fought
For my pride felt mistreated
But looking back I was to blame

Now I've got a feeling so deep in my soul
Just like the falcon that reels on the wing
It's ripping and wringing, it won't let me go
That's why I've written this song that I sing

There was a time when I thought
I had all that I needed
My choices receded in shame
There was a time when I fought
For my pride felt mistreated
But looking back I was to blame

Now I've got a feeling so deep in my soul
Just like the falcon that reels on the wing
It's ripping and wringing, it won't let me go
That's why I've written this song that I sing
