Back, and forth...
Back, and forth...
Those are the only directions I look.
The only ways I can run.
The only places to hide.
Back, and forth...
Back, and forth...
The only things I can see
As I look from you, to her, to me.
And wonder if I chose right.
Back, and forth...
Back, and forth...
My guilt is burning deep under my thoughts
And I'm so scared of her tears
Glittering in your eye's spotlight.
Back, and forth...
Back, and forth...
I shut my eyes tight and open them again.
I look at the window again
And watch the garden sway in the wind.
Back, and forth...
Back, and forth...
As though God can't decide
To pay for my guilt
All affairs aside...
