never to look back

The Stranglers

It's not that easy
Never to look back
The years distort the lies
We take for fact
I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
All my loving is not enough for that

I had a black shirt
But I wasn't one
I had black thoughts
But now they're undone
Thoughts are eaasy
And they're all I have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back

Thoughts are easy,
But they're all I have
Life's not easy
If all you do is fight
The truth is changed by
The memories we have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back
'Cos it's never the same
Never to look back
