YOU CAN'T GO BACK

It makes you happy
At least that's what you say
But you ain't Cinderella
Who'd wanna be anyway?

Of all the things you wanted
One thing you never got
Was to be treated like somebody
Just to have one shot

You can't go back
No, you can't go back

But now you're thinkin'
Of workin' on a dream
You're not quite there yet
You're somewhere in between

I can hear you talkin'
How you deserve the best
A voice inside your head keeps sayin'
Don't settle for less

You can't go back - you've seen the world
You can't go back - you're a different girl
You can't go back - to who you were before
You can't go back - you always wanted more

You have regrets
But you can't change the past
You want the real thing
Is that too much to ask

For the first time in your life
It gets to be your choice
I feel you've found yourself, yeah
You found your voice

You can't go back - you've seen the world
You can't go back - you're a different girl
You can't go back - to who you were before
You can't go back - you always wanted more

You can see the future
It's in the stars
It's gonna be OK
This is who you are

It's true you sold your body
But you never sold your soul
You don't need anyone
It's you that's in control

They can take away your innocence
But they can't erase your pride
You've seen a better life
You've seen the other side

You can't go back - you've seen the world
You can't go back - you're a different girl
You can't go back - to who you were before
You can't go back - you always wanted more

You can't go back
No, you can't go back
