No Backward Glances Songtext
von Seachange

She was the one they turned to, when all else seemed to fail
She was the one who listened, gave herself up through it all
Only so much someone can take, propping up another′s dreams
And to reach such fame in the eyes of your
Friends, surely you were misunderstood
All those secret moments alone, where you wondered just who you were
All the love you gave, seeking somewhere
Else, something learned but never real

Letters from sunken and poor lost souls, misread the look in your eye
Taking a shot in the dark that you loved
Woman you can leave them all behind
And now you're pushing yourself even further
Found the strength to aim for higher ground

You are your mother, your father, your sister, your brother
All of them with you inside
Mother, father, sister, brother
All of them with you inside
All of them


She was the one they turned to, when they needed a woman′s voice
She was the one who listened, gave out all the gentle advice
When could you break from the image, put aside the perfect face
And be wrong, be rude, be nasty and cold
Stop putting people in their place
Back to the woods where your brother played
Back to the promises your mother made
Back to the room where your sister stayed
Back to the year where you felt the change

You carried weights not all could see
But you put them down and you danced with me
Dance in the summer, dance in the rain
Dance away the past, dance away the pain
Out in the country you stood as the lightning cracked
You told me you had to go on alone and not come back

You are your mother, your father, your sister, your brother
All of them with you inside
Mother, father, sister, brother
All of them with you inside
All of them with you inside

And they will never, never, never forget you
They will never, never, never forget you
They will never, never, never forget you
They will never, never, never forget you


When I met you that night, you were falling down
Desperately searching for nothing sound
Two perfect strangers in an unknown town
We fell in together, 'til the morning came
We looked harder, together, look at what we found
We are over, now we are over
We are stronger even though we are apart

Mother, father, sister, brother
Mother, father, sister, brother
Mother, father, sister, brother
Mother, father, sister, brother
Mother, father, sister, brother
Mother, father, sister
All of them with you
All of them with you inside
