Dirty broken dishes, cigarette burns on the floor

She held a look of disbelief as she wandered through the door

To have a seat and meet the parents of a child that was heading the wrong way

And it′s probably seven years since she turned around and hit the road that day

Paper tearing off the walls, a rotten moldy sink

When he wandered to the counter just to fix himself a drink

Like there wasn't something wrong, like he couldn′t see the sorrow in the song

And it must be seven years since he tipped his hat and told 'em all, "So long"

Well, she was so distracted by the color of the room

She never thought that she would see this brittle flower bloomin'

And take the cards that he was dealt

To build a house the big bad wolf could not blow down

And it must be seven years now, since they turned that life around

She said, "Stay on track

Don′t let me see you lookin′ back

Never mind what's left behind and don′t look back

Don't look back"

Well, the house shrunk in the rearview and they left it far behind

It faded out of sight back to the shadows of her mind

Just like the shards of shattered mirrors

Broken pieces scattered o′er the burial grounds

And it must be seven years now, since they got out of that town

She said, "Stay on track

Don't let me see you lookin′ back

Never mind what's left behind and don't look back

Don′t look back"
