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
