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 try fixin' shit that I can't
Memories made me sick
I hope the past the hardest that it gets
Momma say 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 I that 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
I broke bones and I shed some blood
And timе took a few friends I love
And no mattеr which way I run
I can't go back to the way it was, no

Ooh, ooh
I can't go back to the way it was, no
Ooh, ooh
And I can't go back to the way it was
Ooh, ooh
(Hold on 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
