Danger In The Past

Careless memories always lie
Times and places you can't buy
From years ago
Boys and girls that you once knew
All grown up and over you
Won't let you go
Photographs are bittersweet
Future plans are in retreat before too long

Hearts once broken never mend
Stay infected to the end
They never heal
Souvenirs that you can feel
Won't give up what they reveal
They never will
Everything that you pursue one more step ahead of you

So sad to tell you that you won't belong
You can't turn back the clock and see the world anew
Did everybody change but you

Careless memories always lie
Scentless traces you can't hide
The years ago
Boys and girls that you once knew all grown up and over
You
Won't let you go
Everything that you pursue one more step ahead of you
But you don't know

Don't look back - there's danger in the past
Don't go back - you knew it couldn't last
Life moves pretty fast
But there's danger
Danger in the past
