Never to Look Back The Stranglers

It's not that easy, never to look back
The years distort the lies we take for fact
I had a black shirt, but I wasn't one
All my loving is not enough for that

I had a black shirt, but I wasn't one
I had black thoughts but now they're undone
Thoughts are easy, and they're all I have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back, 'cos it's never the same
Never to look back

Thoughts are easy, and they're all I have
Life's not easy if all you do is fight

The truth is changed by the memories we have
All my loving is not enough for that
All my loving is not enough for that

How could I think it was ever like this
The truth's the truth but did it ever exist
I tell myself, well never again
Never to look back, 'cos it's never the same
Never to look back
