People Tell Me
JESSE HARRIS
People tell me
Don't look back
The past's far behind
But I keep on looking
Like there's something to find
People tell me
Remember that I should forget
I've tried to succeed but still haven't yet
Now that there's nothing before me
But a long wide open road
Emptiness all around me
Without an end for all I know
People tell me
Don't worry
It's all for the best
If I could believe them I'd settle for less
