The Past And Present

The Past And Present

Maybe he was wrong, but then she fooled him along,
He was the best she had.
But even right away, that was the mantra for the day,
He wasn't good or bad.
She asked me for a dance, and "Yes I'd love to, but I can't" was what I meant to say.
Before the words came out I was already at her house,
I guess I have to stay.
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
I can't believe it, it's been so long.
Tell me, why won't you tell me,
It's just as well these days are gone.
He would never know, and though I would, she swears he won't,
It was a small mistake.
You really can't blame me, but I'm pretty sure that he has something else to say.
He promises revenge, I should've tried to make amends,
And we should end this here.
Well I'd apologize, but it's too late and I know why,
This is good bye my dear.
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
I can't believe it, it's been so long.
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
It's just as well these days are gone.
Every day now she finds, memories when she shuts her eyes.
Since it hurts her to sleep, she stays up all night long forgetting memories with me.
I tried to cut and run, that little girl's just so much fun,
God help me if it's love.
It's nothing of the sort, she'll roll the base bed just for sport,
Let's sweep under the rug.
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
I can't believe it, it's been so long.
Tell me, why won't you tell me,
It's just as well these days are gone.
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
I can't believe it, it's been so long.
Tell me, why won't you tell me,
It's just as well these days are gone.
