I reminisce on the last Christmas I spent with my mom and my dad
I'm still trippin' wishin' that I could go back to know what I'm missin'
It's a mystery, oh, how'd I forget?
I'm not a magician, I'm tryna fix this shit that I can't
Memories made me sick
I hope the past the hardest that it gets
Momma said she drinkin', to forget
I told my momma, "save your son a sip"
Tryna slow my breath and get a grip
I think life is harder than in death
They're in heaven, I'm the one that's left (they left)
I did things that I knew were wrong but
Time just keeps movin' on and
No matter which way I run
I can't go back to the way it was, no
I broke bones and I shed some blood and
Time took a few friends I love and
No matter which way I run
I can't go back to the way it was, no
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I can't go back to the way it was, no
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I can't go back to the way it was, no
Ooh, ooh, ooh (hold this moment while you can)
(Tell your people that you care)
(Do it all while you still can)
I can't go back to the way it was, no (can't go back to the)
I said I can't go back to the way it was, nah, oh (no, no)
I can't go back to the way it was, no
