Never Looking Back

She can see the stars from where she stands
And all she longs for is you hold her hand
She ties her shoes, past drips away.

She's on her way…

I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again.

She walks with the moon, sleeps with the sun
Never had a father, kind of had a mom
She stuck the needle into her arm, stared in the mirror, she wanted to run
She said, "If I could just have another life,"
Let me tell you about her only vice
Maybe mother would think twice
A lack of love ain't nothing nice
This home, this earth
This skin, this worth
This frown, this birth
She wants to laugh but she just hurts
And as the past walks in to influence this future
She makes amends, to get a fair chance she might contend
This original sin as breath begins.

She can see the stars from where she stands
And all she longs for is you hold her hand
She ties her shoes, past drips away
She's on her way…

I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again.

She walks with the moon, sleeps with the sun
Never had a father, always was the mom
She pulled the needle out of her arm, stared in the mirror, she wanted to run
She said, "If I could just have another life,"
Let me tell you about her only vice
Maybe mother would think twice
A lack of love ain't nothing nice
Same home, same earth
Same skin, same worth
Same frown, same birth
She wants to laugh but she just hurts
And as the past walks in to influence this future
She makes amends, to get a fair chance she must not pretend
This original sin for a second chance.

She can see the stars from where she stands
And all she longs for is you hold her hand
She ties her shoes, past drips away
She's on her way…

I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again
I ain't looking back again, I ain't ever looking back again.
