Don't Look Back/Don't Wait for Me Lyrics

Broken bottles, broken windows

Empty rooms, empty photo frames

A house where no one wants to stay

A story where everything didn't end up okay

Well, here I am

At the beginning of the end of a tragedy

And here I am

At the cusp of it was never meant to be

And all the twisted broken arrows

Pierce the closely woven lies

Where the ghosts haunt you forever

And the story never dies

Well, here

Here's just a broken melody

You told me

Don't look back

What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be

And don't look down

Just look forward and keep your eyes on me

We'll take back what we were someday

But everybody has to change

Keep your head up and don't panic when the next song finally comes

So don't look back

Just run

Darkened caverns, twisting tunnels

Broken buttons, shattered lives

Trust that family had betrayed

And the story of a land where no one stayed

Well, here I am

At the end of an unfinished symphony

And here I am

Finally taking back the choice that you stole from me

And all the out of tune guitar strings

And the anthems of the damned

And the twisted empty promises

And lost beloved lands

Well, here

Here's just a shattered family

I told you

Don't look back

What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be

And don't look down

Just look forward and keep your eyes on me

Don't wait for an apology

There isn't one to come

Stay down and be grateful when the next song finally comes

So don't wait for me

And you can't break a shattered heart

And I can't make the battered whole

I can't remember who we were

And you can't save a weary soul

And the endings never quite feel right

The shadows creep too far tonight

And in the end, the lesson's never wrote

And we remember all the promises we broke

I told you/You told me

Don't look back

What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be

And don't look down

Just look forward and keep your eyes on me

Don't wait for an apology/We'll take back what we were someday

There isn't one to come/But everybody has to change

Stay down and be grateful/Keep your head up and don't panic

When the next song finally comes

So don't

Wait for me/Look back

Just run/Light the match, set it off

Don't wait for me/Hold the world in your hands

Just run/Fake a smile, in denial

Don't wait for me/Watch it burn to ashes

Just run/This is our L'Manberg

Don't wait for me/This is our L'Manberg

And I'll remember all the promises you broke
