You Can't Take It Back Lyrics - Dawn Of A New Day - Crystal Shawanda

There she was just seventeen 

Cryin' on the mornin' after 

He told her everything she wanted to hear 

All those drunken reasons that she had 

For givin' in don't matter 

And they don't stop the tears, no 

What do you do when it's too late? 

What do you say when you 

Can't change the truth of what you've done 

And it's coming at you fast? 

When you can't hide the hurt inside 

How do you pray to make it right 

When you wanna change the past 

And you can't take it back? 

You can't take it back 

Scared to death, she tells her friend 

To meet her at the drugstore counter 

And finds out what she didn't wanna hear 

Daddy will die, her mamma will cry 

The kids at school will talk about her 

There ain't no easy way outta here, oh 

What do you do when it's too late? 

What do you say when you 

Can't change the truth of what you've done 

And it's coming at you fast? 

When you can't hide the hurt inside 

How do you pray to make it right 

When you wanna change the past 

And you can't take it back? 

You can't take it back 

All the choices that she's made 

That baby staring back at her 

Is one she wouldn't change 

What do you do when it's too late? 

What do you say when you 

Can't change the truth of what you've done 

And it's coming at you fast? 

When you can't hide the hurt inside 

How do you pray to make it right 

When you wanna change the past 

And you can't take it back? 

You can't take it back 

What do you do when it's too late? 

What do you say when you 

Can't change the truth of what you've done 

And it's coming at you fast? 

When you can't hide the hurt inside 

How do you pray to make it right 

When you wanna change the past 

And you can't take it back? 

You can't take it back 

Sometimes it ain't so bad
