[Verse 1]
Pain and misery, it all seems to follow me
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go
I can't change the past but it's always coming back
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go

Aaaah-ahh
Aaaah-ahh

[Verse 2]
And now I repeat the things that they did to me
They did to me, they did to me, they did to me
I'm getting older still, look over my shoulder so
I don't repeat, I won't repeat, I won't repeat

[Chorus]
I tried to forgive them
I triеd to forget
Though they had forgotten
I am sorry I can't
Now I'm both thе victim
And I am to blame
For all the things that I am
I am

[Verse 3]
It would do me good to hear them admit the truth
Straight to my face, yeah, to my face, yeah, to my face
I'm afraid it is too late to ever say I never made
The same mistakes, the same mistakes, the same mistakes
[Chorus]
I tried to forgive them
I tried to forget
Though they had forgotten
I am sorry I can't
Now I'm both the victim
And I am to blame
For all the things that I am
I am
I am
I am

Aaaah-ohhh-ahh-ahh

[Outro]
It goes 'round and 'round this ancestry
Weaving our spirits for centuries
And it goes on and on and on
The wheel's ever turning

It goes 'round and 'round this ancestry
Weaving our spirits for centuries
And it goes on and on and on
The wheel's ever turning
