Lyrics
DON'T LOOK BACK
(Music & lyrics: Robert Baitinger / Fabian Goerg)
Verse 1:
You wake up and you open your eyes
Where are you now, you’re completely surprised
Your brain hurts while you think about last night
You drove your car stoned
A loud noise, bodies flying through the air
You hit the brakes, man it was in complete despair
The night was dark, they were dressed in black
You pushed the pedal down and never looked back, no
Chorus:
You can run and you can hide
But you can’t apologize
You can’t change what you feel inside
You sound like a bag of lies
You can’t turn back the hands of time
And you can’t get back on track
What you say ain’t worth a dime
So don’t – just don’t look back
Verse 2:
This is a bad case of hit and run
Should you give up or get yourself a shotgun
Got no friends that you can turn to
No one can tell you, what you should do
Do you wanna commit suicide?
‘Cause they're searching for you nationwide
It’s not the way you had your life laid out
You’re to blame without a shadow of a doubt
Half-chorus
Rap verse (male):
And as the fog clears, I can see your pretty face
You hold me tight girl, I feel your warm embrace
And then you tell me that I had a bad dream
You woke me up ‘cause I started to scream
It felt so real, as if I was really there
But it was just a great big bad nightmare
Now every time I go to bed I still hear
This voice inside my head filling me with fear
Chorus
