Don't Look Back!

Don't look back at what they did to you.
Don't look back at what they said.
Don't look back at that same picture that you're seeing in your head.
Don't look back at what you did to them,
Don't look back at what you said.
Just look forward with a grateful smile
You're alive and you're not dead.
That no matter what they did to you,
That your spirit couldn't die,
And after all the pain's subsided
You weren't swept away by the tide.

Don't look back at what happened years ago,
Or even yesterday.
Don't look back because believe me,
It causes too much pain.
Hold on to those sweet memories, 
Hold on to those sweet words.
Cause in the end those moments of peace will be all the peace in the world.
Don't look back at what you could've done, 
just know you did your best.
Don't look back at what you could've said,
It was all just a difficult test.
And no matter what the results may be,
Don't you ever turn around.
There's a future that lies ahead of you,
So buckle up and don't look down!
