I sit in my room looking back
Back at the memories I hold close
So close to my heart and mind
Wishing I could be back in those moments
Wishing I could feel that way again
Being happy with my family
Being back in that place with them
Just talking and hanging out with them
But this isn’t a fantasy
No, it is not
So instead I sit alone
Alone in my room looking back
