Looking Back
Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you, you pushed me away
Dropping matches on the bridges that didn't need to burn
And I wish it didn't end this way
Left with regret and the pain of words unsaid
I never saw it coming and I never saw the truth
I know I played a role in how things fell apart
No matter what I said, nothing could have kept it from this end
How could you call yourself a friend
When the words coming from your mouth
Never meant a thing?
How could you call yourself a friend
When everything we were didn't mean a thing to you?
And when you broke down what we built
It made me second guess myself,
It made me second guess all of us
But time keeps moving on, and we keep moving on
Always looking forward, we'll leave the past behind
And I keep asking, what is left?
What's left to say when the ties that bind have torn apart?
Looking back I realize no matter what we said
Nothing could've changed the past
Was it all for nothing? I guess we'll never know
But all that's left are bridges burnt and lessons learnt.
The song "Looking Back" by Champion is a reflection on a friendship that has ended, but not without regret and pain. The first verse expresses the desire to leave the past behind, but the second line suggests that the singer has been pushed away by their former friend. The bridge imagery is used to illustrate the destruction that has occurred, suggesting that the burned bridges were unnecessary and regrettable. The chorus questions how the friend could have been so callous in their behavior, indicating that the relationship was not as meaningful to them as it was to the singer. The third verse speaks to the aftermath of the collapse, with the singer questioning what is left of the friendship and whether anything they said could have changed the outcome.
The lyrics convey a sense of loss and longing for what was, while also acknowledging that the past cannot be changed. The singer expresses regret at their own role in the friendship's demise, while also calling out the former friend's behavior. The chorus implies that the friend was not really a true friend at all, as they did not value the relationship in the same way. The final verse is something of a lament, with the singer wondering whether anything was gained from the experience, and noting that all that is left are burned bridges and lessons learned.
Overall, "Looking Back" is a heartfelt and honest song that deals with themes of friendship, loss, regret, and acceptance. Its lyrics will resonate with anyone who has experienced a similar situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Looking back, wish I could say we left the past behind
Reflecting on our past, I wish we had truly moved on
But you, you pushed me away
You intentionally distanced yourself from me
Dropping matches on the bridges that didn't need to burn
You caused unnecessary destruction and harm to our relationship
And I wish it didn't end this way
I regret that our relationship ended on bad terms
Left with regret and the pain of words unsaid
I am tormented by things that were left unsaid and unfinished
I never saw it coming and I never saw the truth
I was oblivious to the reality of our relationship falling apart
I know I played a role in how things fell apart
I acknowledge my own fault in our fallout
But years have past and I can see it clearly
I have gained clarity over the years about our situation
No matter what I said, nothing could have kept it from this end
There was nothing I could have done to prevent our relationship from ending
How could you call yourself a friend
I question your intentions and the authenticity of our friendship
When the words coming from your mouth
Your words were empty and meaningless
Never meant a thing?
What was the point of saying anything at all?
When everything we were didn't mean a thing to you?
Our entire relationship was meaningless to you
And when you broke down what we built
You destroyed everything we had worked so hard to create
It made me second guess myself,
Your actions and words made me doubt myself and my worth
It made me second guess all of us
I began to doubt the validity of our entire relationship
But time keeps moving on, and we keep moving on
Life goes on and we must continue to move forward
Always looking forward, we'll leave the past behind
We must focus on the future and let go of the past
And I keep asking, what is left?
I am left wondering what remains after our relationship has ended
What's left to say when the ties that bind have torn apart?
Is there anything left to be said when our relationship has been irreparably damaged?
Looking back I realize no matter what we said
In retrospect, nothing we could have said or done would have changed the outcome
Nothing could've changed the past
The past is unchangeable and we must accept it
Was it all for nothing? I guess we'll never know
I question if our entire relationship was meaningless and if it was all a waste
But all that's left are bridges burnt and lessons learnt.
The only things that remain are the damage caused and the lessons we have learned from our failed relationship
