Lyrics
Our Past Is In My Way
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.
Our past is always present where my future is concerned
And I'd found the doors all locked to me no matter where I turn
I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay
And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
I can't go out with someone else and do the things we'd do
And I can't even look ahead while looking back at you
I'm torn between tomorrow and the scars of yesterday
And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
[ steel ]
I was so much stronger yesterday when you walked by my side
But I'm weaker for you left me here and my heart within me dies
What I was speak so much louder than what I am today
And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
