I Can't Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro)

THE KID LAROI

I reminisce
On the last Christmas
I spent with my mom and my dadI′m still trippin'
Wishin′ that I could go back
To know what I'm missin'
It′s a mystery, oh, how′d I forget
I'm not a magician
I try fixin′ shit that I can't
Memories made me sick
I hope the past is the hardest that it gets
Momma say she drinkin′ to forget
I told my momma "Save your son a sip"
Tryna slow my breath and get a grip
I think life is harder than in death
They're in Heaven, I′m the one that's left (They left)

I did things that I know are wrong but
Time just keeps movin' on and
No matter which way I run
I can′t go back to the way it was, now
Broke bones and I shed some blood, and
Time took a few friends I love, and
No matter which way I run
I can′t go back to the way it was, now

And I can't go back to the way it was
And I can′t go back to the way it was, now
(Hold this moment while you can
Tell your people that you care
Do enough while you still can)
I can't go back to the way it was, now (Can′t go back to the-)
I said, I can't go back to the way it was, now, woah (No, no)
I can′t go back to the way it was, now
