Let Old Memories Be

There you go bringing back
Those old memories
Things done in the past
Why don't you let it be
Could it be I misunderstood you
But I thought that we had made a pact
To let by-gones e by-gones
(Why don't you let it be)
Move on forward and never look back
Now by no means am I perfect
But I sure don't like your attitude
Always reaching back in the past
When I won't do what you want me to
Oh there you go
There you go bringing back
Those old memories
Things done in the past
Why don't you let it be
There you go bringing back
Those old memories
Things done in the past
Why don't you let it be
If you cared like I care
We could work this out
But it seems that you don't
And yesterday is all you talk about
Man I live for today and for tomorrow
And when you talk about yesterday
All you bring me sorrow
Been there, done that, and
I ain't tryin' to go again
So if you're tryin' to take me there
Let me tell you my friend
I don't wanna be a prisoner to an old memory
There you go bringing back
Those old memories
Things done in the past
Why don't you let it be
