Can’t look back

I held you up when you were breaking down,

Helped you stand when no one else was around.

Gave you a place to breathe, a place to dream,

But loving you cost more than it seemed…

And now you want what you let slip through your hands…

But I’m not that man… anymore.

You eI

I gave you everything I had,

Held you together when your world collapsed.

Through every long night,

Working in the factory lights,

Just to keep your dreams on track…

But now you’re crying over what you lost,

Realizing love comes with a cost.

You want me back again,

But you broke a loyal friend…

And I can’t ever look at you the same —

No, I can’t ever look back again.

I saw the fire in you when you couldn’t find the spark,

Pulled you close and held you when your nights got dark.

Every dollar, every hour, I was lifting you up,

Trying to be the one who showed you real love.

Clocking every shift, cold hands, but my heart stayed warm,

I was building us a shelter, trying to weather your storms.

You said you needed space, but I heard what that meant —

You were gone before you even finished the sentence.

I gave you everything I had,

Held you together when your world collapsed.

Through every long night,

Working in the factory lights,

Just to keep your dreams on track…

But now you’re crying over what you lost,

Realizing love comes with a cost.

You want me back again,

But you broke a loyal friend…

And I can’t ever look at you the same —

No, I can’t ever look back again.

You leaned on all my kindness like it’d never run dry,

Turned my steady loyalty into tears I had to hide.

I was paying for your car, making sure you had a place to sleep,

Giving you the kind of love most people never get to keep.

But you took advantage of a heart that never quit,

Gave excuses you still can’t explain, not even a little bit.

Now you’re reaching for the pieces of the love you threw away —

But some things break too far for me to ever feel the same.

I gave you everything I had,

Held you together when your world collapsed.

Through every long night,

Working in the factory lights,

Just to keep your dreams on track…

But now you’re crying over what you lost,

Realizing love comes with a cost.

You want me back again,

But you broke a loyal friend…

And I can’t ever look at you the same —

No, I can’t ever look back again.

I’m moving on, I’m healing now,

Learning to love myself somehow —

Building up what you tore through.

And you can apologize,

But I see straight through the lies —

There’s nothing left you can undo.

I’m not bitter, I’m not cold,

But I’ve outgrown what we were told.

Peace is something I had to reclaim.

So let the memories fall away,

’Cause no matter what you say…

I’ll never see you the same.

Do I

I gave you everything I had,

Working in the factory lights,

Just to keep your dreams on track…

But now you’re crying over what you lost,

Realizing love comes with a cost.

You want me back again,

But you broke a loyal friend…
