Don’t Look Back (Trina’s Song)
© Jon Davis 2019
You returned to collect your things but your house was empty
The man you loved disappeared without a trace
He took all your worldly possessions with him
And your existence before that moment had been erased
Your passport, your heirlooms, your childhood photos
He took everything he could to make you break
How he cleaned out your bank account, nobody knows
And he even took your little boy’s pet snake
CHORUS
Have no regrets; only memories
And remember that the past is in the past
Time spent looking back is time you don’t spend looking forward
The pain you feel was never meant to last
You faced the judge a decade ago with your freedom on the line
That’s when you put your happiness on the shelf
You never went to prison yet you’re still doing time
You work hard and play harder but won’t forgive yourself
Your trial seems like yesterday but it was a billion tears ago
And you still punish yourself in every way
What happened then doesn’t matter now, so you can let it go
People love you for who you are today
CHORUS
Have no regrets; only memories
And remember that the past is in the past
Time spent looking back is time you don’t spend looking forward
The pain you feel was never meant to last
BRIDGE
It’s time that I rode 2 wheels west to freedom
And your time has come to get a bag packed
Throw your leg on over and hang on bloody tight
Our only rule is … ‘Don’t look back’
CHORUS
Have no regrets; only memories
And remember that the past is in the past
Time spent looking back is time you don’t spend looking forward
The pain you feel was never meant to last
OUTRO – repeat chorus to fade with motor cycle sound effects
