Take Back The Wounds
Backwards words healing wounds
Rewinding time back
before hurt
If I could take back what has
already happen I would
Backwards words healing wounds
Sealing up the cracks left on her
broken heart
Just like mine
The same breaking, aching inside
taking in scars
The splitting mirrors image
putting bits and pieces
back in places
where we appear clear again
Backwards words healing wounds
Eyes swallowing tears
Frowns upside down
forming at the same time
the clock rewinds
Backwards words healing wounds
If I could take back
all the bad moments
and spin back the hands to
hands holding each other
unfolding a dying rose back to bloom
I would
Backwards words healing wounds
Stealing voices
in the choices we make that
break us apart
Backwards words before breaking hearts
If only
We could start all over...
