This Wild Life - Looking Back lyrics

rate me

I tried to find a way out of this hole,

But I'm dug in deep and its walls are steep

Been down so long it seems like all I've known

I tried to find a way to make you see

The good in me, make you believe

I wasn't ready then but I can show you how

I'm ready now

It seems like it gets harder every year

I took two steps forward but three steps back

Had to take a deep breath before my bags were packed

It's gotta get easier from here

I had to learn to live without looking back

Look inside myself to find the things I lacked

I'm better off without all of your doubt

You don't know me or who I'll be

And without your help I've grown so much this year

You’re scared to take a chance on something real

It’s been so long since you could feel

I wasn't ready then but I can show you how

I'm ready now

It seems like it gets harder every year

I took two steps forward but three steps back

Had to take a deep breath before my bags were packed

It's gotta get easier from here

I had to learn to live without looking back

Look inside myself to find the things I lacked

One thing I've learned is that

Good things will not fall in my lap

One thing I've learned is that

I had to work harder and longer

Be smarter and stronger

Than the person right beside me

Have the confidence and common sense

To know there's still something inside me

And oh, I gave my very best, with the purest intent

And I'll be proud when I look back

It seems like it gets harder every year

I took two steps forward but three steps back

Had to take a deep breath before my bags were packed

It's gotta get easier from here

I had to learn to live without looking back

Look inside myself to find the things I lacked
