lyrics

I'm in love with the past
but she don't love me back
Though I remember her so clearly
She don't remember me

So I settled down with the present
'cause she's the only one who would have me
But every night I go out drinking
to flirt with the pretty young futures that'll never be

And the worst part is
She's the one I'll spend the rest of my life with
But all I can see
Is that she's not as beautiful as she used to be

And when I'm lying in bed
the past keeps running through my head
I can't give my love to my lover
because my heart belongs to another

These futures remind me of her
but I won't ever have them either
so I'm stuck here with the one who won't
become the past until tomorrow

And the worst part is
She's the one I'll spend the rest of my life with
But all I can see
Is that she's not as beautiful as she used to be

And when I wake up
with a hammer in my head
that'll be the past knocking
to tell me I ain't dead
just yet

And the worst part is
She's the one I'll spend the rest of my life with
But all I can see
Is that she's not as beautiful as she used to be
