Can’t Go Back Lyrics by Tanita Tikaram

Can’t Go Back

2012

They say you can't go back again
Looking out as strangers trying to find a friend
And hoping it will end this wondering
No you can't go back

And pray that people change
Who let all the promises fall through our hands
Little lies like sand until the end
No you can't go back

You can't go back again
And pray that people change

And now the chance won't come again
Anyone can see when you need a friend
You're a lot like me when you pretend
But you can't go back
You can't go back
No you can't go back again
And pray that people change
