Well, I don't feel human anymore, Mama
When am I ever gonna get that karma
You said was heading back down this way?
The knife inside my back feels so familiar
Reminds me of the real her
A cold and sharp pocket blade

And I don't trust anyone anymore, lover
They all want money or anything other
Than what's good or what truly stays
All I want are your beautiful legs around me
On that Spanish beach where you found me
For the rest of my earthly days

This is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards

And I said plenty things I didn't mean back then
I blame it on my thick skin
Like a dog that's beat too much
Nowadays, I don't shake or shiver
When it's simply time for dinner
My backward walk's enough

This is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards

And I forgive you for the things you did
The overrated underdog, the comeback kid
I don't blame you for the things you did
My father taught me, keep it walking, always forgive

So, this is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards
