Take Me Back

Walked through all the lies, trying to kill the pain.
But something kept alive, burning deep inside,
A signal I couldn't lose no matter how I tried.
I came back,
Not to what I left; I came back to something deeper in my chest.
I came back through every loose and crack, I came back,
And I'm never going back, back, back.
I came back.
Coming back is not the same as starting over,
Arriving knowing what the leaving cost.
Every road that took me further from the center taught me what I'd almost loved to death and lost.
