Wading down to my knees as the water rushes fast Tossing memories in the river but it cannot change the past Fixin' to get myself a drink as a man passed by my slew His eyes sunk deep with sorrow as he paddled his own canoe People tell me I'm a fool, they say don't look back It's not worth your time I shook them off and flushed the words down a drain nearly clogged In the back of my mind Love and hate have their ways of making you want to change Time and time again I learn that all people are just the same End up thinking hard at night and only worrying at day As I called for his name he was already on his way People tell me I'm a fool, they say don't look back It's not worth your time I shook them off and flushed the words down a drain nearly clogged In the back of my mind Alone, alone she cries Another day, day in disguise People tell me I'm a fool, they say don't look back It's not worth your time I shook them off and flushed the words down a drain nearly clogged In the back of my mind
