I Live In The Past
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The day's are so lonely the night are so long
Our home is a prison since you are gone
And I'll always wonder why our love didn't last
With no hope for tomorrow I'll live in the past
A door that won't knock a phone that don't ring
The postman goes by and he don't leave a thing
A pain in my heart and tears in my eyes
My sweetheart has gone I'm left here to cry
I'm the biggest pretender you ever could see
I pretend you still love me false love couldn't be
And then I remember and I know that its true
For your with another and I know I've lost you
I'll just go on dreaming sweet dreams of the past
Of when you still love me and I thought it would last
But life is so short and time moves so fast
I'll never forget you as I live in the past
