gone back
Retraced one's steps
Gone back means returned to a previous place, state, or topic.
You might go back to your hometown after years away, or go back to an earlier point in the conversation.
It can also mean to extend into the past: Our friendship goes back twenty years.
To go back on a promise or agreement is to break it.
