Roches - Person With A Past lyrics

rate me

Looking in the mirror<br />

What do you see<br />

From another era<br />

A face baby<br />

<br />

A waste maybe<br />

Of a chance never had<br />

A history<br />

Of romance gone bad<br />

<br />

Who can be a lover<br />

How long can it last<br />

Anything but hover<br />

Seems like moving too fast<br />

Going undercover<br />

With a person with a past<br />

<br />

Seems like only yesterday<br />

You were just a child<br />

Until up irreversibly<br />

All o' this sadness piled<br />

<br />

Mistakes when you were fighting<br />

Your way out of your bag<br />

Has loneliness moonlighting<br />

Made of you a hag<br />

Who can be . . .<br />

<br />

You say you want to see me<br />

My number you desire<br />

You make it sound so easy<br />

Like slumbering in fire<br />

<br />

I'm offering a warning<br />

Where you can put your trust<br />

And thank me in the morning<br />

When ashes turn to dust<br />

Who can be . . .
