In the Past For a Reason
I walked away,
letting life know I'll never look back.
And now his face
keeps appearing in the back of my head.
How can it be I still love him?
How can it be my heart still wants him?
It was hard breaking it off,
he didn't even fight to have me stay.
It was a nightmare I called off,
but he failed to convince me he could change.
He just stood there,
not running after me,
and now he's here,
but running inside of me.
I can't go back to the past,
he wouldn't want me there.
I heard he moved on with someone else.
The rumours flew and they turned true,
My heart is still blue.
How is it that I'm still falling?
How is it my body's still yearning?
He belongs in the past for a reason.
